Legal entities
Legal entities is one of Demiton's published registers for Australian civil construction. The operating companies in your group: the root every worker, project and cost code belongs to. Demiton keeps it current from the systems a contractor already runs and publishes the record's shape as a versioned JSON Schema, so the same question works whichever system produced the record.
