Full title and description

STB BS ISO 8000-116-2019 — Data quality — Part 116: Master data: Exchange of quality identifiers: Application of ISO 8000‑115 to authoritative legal entity identifiers. This document specifies how authoritative legal entity identifiers (ALEIs) are represented for the exchange of master data, supplementing the requirements of ISO 8000‑115.

Abstract

This part of ISO 8000 defines the requirements for representing authoritative legal entity identifiers (ALEIs). It specifies the structure and elements required (prefix element, a single sub-domain element and the identifier element) and makes clear that ALEIs apply to all types of legal entity (individuals or organizations). The document excludes the methods used to create identifiers and the syntax or methods used for resolution.

Scope

Specifies requirements for the representation of authoritative legal entity identifiers to support exchange of master data between parties. The scope covers the required identifier elements (prefix, sub-domain, identifier) and how these supplement ISO 8000‑115 requirements; it does not cover identifier creation methods, resolution query/response syntax, or the mechanisms used for resolution.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition and structure of Authoritative Legal Entity Identifiers (ALEIs).
• Required components: prefix element, single sub-domain element, identifier element.
• Supplemental requirements to ISO 8000‑115 for applying quality identifier rules to legal-entity identifiers.
• Applicability to all types of legal entity (natural persons and organizations).
• Explicit exclusions: creation methods, resolution protocol syntax, and resolution mechanisms.

Typical use and users

Used by master data and data-quality teams, MDM (Master Data Management) implementers, ERP and procurement system integrators, registries and authoritative identifier providers, legal-entity registry operators, and organizations exchanging authoritative entity information across trading partners and systems. The standard helps ensure unambiguous exchange and machine-processable quality identifiers for legal entities.

Related standards

Part of the ISO 8000 series on data quality and master data. Closely related parts include ISO 8000‑115 (quality identifier syntax, semantics and resolution requirements) and other ISO 8000 master-data parts (for example ISO 8000‑100, ISO 8000‑110 and later parts that address other identifier types and applications). National adoptions are commonly published as BS ISO (British adoption) and may appear in national catalogs (sometimes indexed using local prefixes such as STB in certain catalogs).

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: It is ISO 8000‑116:2019 — a part of the ISO 8000 series that defines how authoritative legal entity identifiers (ALEIs) should be represented for master-data exchange; it supplements ISO 8000‑115.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the required representation elements (prefix, a single sub-domain element and the identifier element) for ALEIs and how ISO 8000‑115 rules apply to those identifiers. It does not cover how identifiers are created or the resolution protocol itself.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Master-data stewards, MDM/ERP implementers, data architects, legal-entity registry operators, identifier providers and any organization exchanging authoritative entity information with trading partners or system integrators.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 8000‑116:2019 is published and (per ISO lifecycle review) was the current confirmed version of this part; users should check national catalogs or ISO for any later revisions or confirmations. National/BS adoptions (BS ISO 8000‑116:2019) reflect the same content as the ISO publication.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is one part of the ISO 8000 series on data quality and master data. It directly references and supplements ISO 8000‑115 and sits alongside other ISO 8000 parts covering identifiers, characteristic data exchange and related master-data quality topics.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Authoritative legal entity identifier, ALEI, quality identifier, ISO 8000, master data, data quality, MDM, prefix, identifier representation.
