The Finance Industry Business Ontology (FIBO)

FIBO is a family of 29 ontologies that formally model how the Financial Industry operates. In development since the onset of the financial crisis in 2008, FIBO serves as the Rosetta Stone for the meaning of data across the industry world wide. FIBO is the product of the Enterprise Data Management Council (EDMC), a consortium of more than 130 organizations in the public and private sectors of the financial industry. FIBO is available in both the Universal Modeling Language (UML), a standard published by the Object Management Group (OMG) and in RDF/OWL, standards published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
