What is FIBO ?

FIBO is a collaborative effort among industry practitioners, semantic technology experts and information scientists to standardize the language used to precisely define the terms, conditions, and characteristics of financial instruments; the legal and relationship structure of business entities; the content and time dimensions of market data; and the legal obligations and process aspects of corporate actions.

FIBO is being released as a series of standards under the technical governance of the Object Management Group (OMG), with the direct involvement of EDM Council membership. FIBO is based on the legal structures and obligations contained within the myriad of contracts that form the foundation of the financial industry.

FIBO Benefits

FIBO presents knowledge about financial instruments, business entities, market data and corporate actions in a technology neutral format along with formal definitions and defined business relationships. FIBO standardizes the language of financial contracts and promotes unambiguous shared meaning among all participants in the financial industry.

Use cases and benefit areas include:

  • Common reference standard for aligning multiple repositories of data: FIBO provides the mechanism for data consistency and comparability. It facilitates data integration, supports business process automation and enables consolidated views across the financial industry.
  • Standardized language for internal and external communication: FIBO is a business language and facilitates precise communication (in place of ad hoc spreadsheets and technical models) about data requirements between business stakeholders and IT developers of applications, message schemas etc.

Utilizing Ontology and specifically the FIBO implementation allows one to be able to ask questions about the assets that a company holds, and get correct answers. Examples include: How many of the assets are taxable? What is the tax liability? With a standard ontology, the rules and regulations can be expressed in terms of these semantics. Financial institutions go through all their assets and assign semantic meaning by representing those assets. FIBO will provide clarity to both financial entity leadership and regulators.

 

The Enterprise Data Management Council (EDM) is the author and steward of the Financial Industry Business Ontology (FIBO).

2026x HF2 Unable to Apply ForceDesignation to Operational Performer

mission engineering UAF When I attempt to create a value for the OpposableElement tag I am not able to get a pull-down. Instead I just get a link to the enumeration. The tag definition in the stereotype uses the type DesignationKind for the tag, not ForceDesignation. DesignationKind is the base stereotype for ForceDesignation. This appears to be an issue in the UAF v1.3 profile.

[SAMPLE MODEL] EE&S Artifact Positioning on the Automotive SPICE Grid

What this isA practice model showing where EE&S plugin artifact types naturally land on the ASPICE process grid, using a Collision Avoidance System (ADAS) as the reference system. The point isn't the system — it's demonstrating that the tool's native constructs map directly to ASPICE work products, and that the chain doesn't stop at architecture.ASPICE Process → EE&S Artifact MappingSYS.1 — Requir

FlexNet Plugin Licenses in Batch Mode

My team is trying to run Cameo in “batch mode”, and I have a question regarding the FlexNet license server configuration that is not answered in any of the documentation that I was able to find. In the Cameo documentation, I see Java arguments for specifying a FlexNet server and port (FL_SERVER_ADDRESS / FL_SERVER_PORT), and I also see that I can specify a tool edition (FL_EDITION). However, in th
