Big Data Management
PermID
Open, permanent, and universal identifiers for data. They are machine-readable and can create a unique reference for any data item.
Why start using PermID?
We understand that data has more potential value when it can be shared.
That’s why we have made Permanent Identifiers (PermIDs) - and the associated entity masters and metadata - available to the market.
PermIDs tag a unique reference across a range of entity types, helping you to handle today's complex data management challenges. They eliminate mapping inconsistencies, reduce operational risk, and streamline end-to-end workflow processes across various platforms.
We are making PermID available through all our solutions in order to offer

How it works
How PermID works
While most identifier schemas span subsets of entity types or categories, PermID provides comprehensive identification across a wide variety of entity types, including organizations, instruments, funds, issuers, and people. And, unlike stock tickers and other such symbols, PermID never changes.
Complementary
PermIDs complement the Reuters Instrument Code (RIC), International Security Identification Numbers (ISINs), Legal Entity Identifiers (LEIs), and many other identifiers.
Comprehensive
PermIDs provide identification across a wide variety of organizations, instruments, funds, issuers, and people.
Connected
PermIDs connect all data sets in the Refinitiv information model, helping gain valuable insights.
Validated
Our global data team, with strong expertise in wide range of data sets, validates each data item before mapping PermIDs. We are powering our data collection process with artificial intelligence for faster and better insights.
