Motivated by our experience in building the Enterprise Knowledge Graph of Italian companies for the Central Bank of Italy, in this paper we present an in-depth case analysis of company ownership graphs, graphs having company ownership as a central concept. In particular, we study and introduce three industrially relevant problems related to such graphs: company control, asset eligibility and detection of personal links. We formally characterize the problems and present Vada-Link, a framework based on state-of-the-art approaches for knowledge representation and reasoning. With our methodology and system, we solve the problems at hand in a scalable, model-independent and generalizable way. We illustrate the favourable architectural properties of Vada-Link and give experimental evaluation of the approach.
