Mergent Company Fundamentals

From http://www.programmableweb.com:

Provides financial information on US and Canadian publicly traded companies, including historical financial statements (balance sheets, cash flow statements, income statements and ratios) going back 20+ years. Additionally, provides information on executives, including current and historical compensation, biography, insider holdings and insider transactions.

Interesting as a data source and certainly useful with other Mergent products (to be posted).

Questions:

  1. Identify three (3) other data sources that could be integrated with information from this API. (1-2 pages, citations)
  2. How would you integrate those resources with this one using a topic map? (3-5 pages, no citations)
  3. Why would you want to integrate those records using a topic map? What need might it meet? (3-5 pages, what needs would be met by this integration?
