    Inability to import UML-XMI files into generic UML

    The resolution to this issue requires submitting a single UML project for all of the FIBO ontologies, which the FIBO team has determined may be accomplished via a new approach to integration of the UML XMI. Testing this has necessarily been deferred to a subsequent revision task force due to the need for modifications to the existing tool infrastructure used to generate the XMI, however.

Several FND about files have incorrect prefixes

  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Thematix Partners LLC ( Mrs. Elisa F. Kendall)
  • Summary:

    These are in informative about files for several of the FIBO FND modules, and do not affect the specification itself, but should be corrected with the FND 1.2 submission.

    In addition, the original AboutFND-1.0 and AboutFND-1.1 files should be revised to use the original versionIRIs for ontologies that are modified by the FND 1.2 revision, so that they still reference the older versions for users that choose not to update to the latest. A new AboutFND-1.2 file should be provided to reference only the latest revisions of all of the ontologies that make up the FND specification.

    The informative files should be provided in a separate archive from the normative files with the FND 1.2 revision.

  • Disposition: Resolved — EDMC-FIBO/FND 1.2
  • Disposition Summary:

    Several FND about files have incorrect prefixes

    This issue affects informative machine readable files only, and has no impact on the specification text.

    It involves (1) providing a new FIBO FND 1.2 about file for the latest version of the specification, which describes the revision and provides metadata for use on the OMG server in the specification catalog as well as acting as a "make file" for the ontology, (2) revising the FIBO FND 1.1 about file to reference the versionIRIs from the prior version of the ontologies, for those users who are not ready to adopt the latest versions, and (3) corrects the about files for several of the modules in FND, attached.

    Note that the FND 1.0 about file for FIBO FND 1.0 does not need revision.

Move StructuredCollection from IND to FND

  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Thematix Partners LLC ( Mrs. Elisa F. Kendall)
  • Summary:

    The concept of a structured collection is not limited to indicators, and should be moved from IND to FND/Arrangements. This is needed so that a new concept, that of a Record, can be added to FND/Documents (using the definition from the OMG's RMS), as a child of Document and of StructuredCollection, which is required to fix the definition of an account in FBC.

    This is a first step in the process – a subsequent revision to IND should deprecate the current StructuredCollection concept in favor of this one added to FND.

  • Disposition: Resolved — EDMC-FIBO/FND 1.2
  • Disposition Summary:

    Move StructuredCollection from IND to FND

    The concepts of a structured collection and record are needed to support a number of downstream definitions, and because they are very general notions, they should be added to Foundations.

Not all transferable contracts are unilateral

  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Thematix Partners LLC ( Mrs. Elisa F. Kendall)
  • Summary:

    The definition of transferable contract is an equivalence of a number of restrictions with both written contract and unilateral contract. Not all transferable contracts are unilateral, however.

    Unilateral contract should be eliminated from the intersection, and, per the FIBO development policy, the two min 1 QCR restrictions in the intersection should be changed to someValuesFrom.

  • Reported: EDMC-FIBO/FND 1.1 — Sun, 12 Feb 2017 01:02 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — EDMC-FIBO/FND 1.2
  • Disposition Summary:

    Not all transferable contracts are unilateral

    The definition of transferable contract is defined as the intersection of written contract, unilateral contract, and several restrictions - that it confers some commitment, that it has a minimum of 1 ContractPrincipal and that it has a minimum of 1 ContractCounterparty.

    This definition is overly restrictive and should be loosened to eliminate the requirement for being a unilateral contract. Further, the min 1 restrictions should be changed to someValuesFrom, which is more efficient from a reasoning perspective. Without eliminating the constraint that a transferable contract must be unilateral, the FIBO FBC specification cannot depend on this concept as a parent for security.

    This resolution depends on the resolution of FIBOFND12-7.

Revise and refactor ContractTermsSet and its relationship to Contract

  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Thematix Partners LLC ( Mrs. Elisa F. Kendall)
  • Summary:

    As noted by several FCTs, the current Contract Terms Set concept does not adequately capture the semantics of contract terms, and is also named misleadingly.

    This was originally modeled as a grouping of terms, which are terms of the contract, according to some common theme such as interest payment or call terms. The current OWL logic does not reflect that these are a common grouping of terms whose intended range would be that of the Contract.

    One change needed is to revise the term that is called Contract Terms Set, which is in effect a Commitment, to actually make it a child of Commitment, thus making the terms of the Contract Terms Set qualifying terms of the Commitment.

    This does not reflect the whole story, since those properties which qualify a commitment are themselves also terms of the contract. This can be implied, as a minimum, by identifying that the Commitment is itself related to the contract by some kind of parthood. Changes have been identified by the Foundations FCT to address this, and in fact the kind of parthood relation referred to here applies to things other than the Commitment.

  • Disposition: Resolved — EDMC-FIBO/FND 1.2
  • Disposition Summary:

    Revise and refactor ContractTermsSet and its relationship to Contract

    This issue affects section 10.9.2 Ontology: Contracts. It calls for the addition of a new concept, ContractualCommitment, as a child of both ContractualElement and Commitment, changing the parent class of ConditionsPrecedent and NonBindingTermsSet (renamed via deprecation of the original and the addition of a new NonBindingTerms concept) from ContractTermsSet to ContractualElement, revision of definitions related to contractual element, adding definitions for contractual commitment and deprecation of contract terms set. A new property, hasContractualElement, is introduced as a replacement for hasTerms (which is deprecated via this resolution), and finally deprecation of ContractTermsSet.

    Minor clean-up of annotations should also be accomplished as appropriate (such as elimination of preceding ‘ ‘ in front of some annotations or at the end of others, revising definitions and sources for some of the existing terms to align better with the new ones, etc.).

    Finally, while working through the resolution text, the task force noted that the part of the table describing the properties details for this ontology was incorrect, copied from another ontology and including the properties from that ontology not contracts. This resolution fixes that.

    This resolution depends on the resolution to issue FIBOFND12-5.

Several additional concepts are needed in the Business Dates ontology to support specific schedule definitions

  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Thematix Partners LLC ( Mrs. Elisa F. Kendall)
  • Summary:

    Several concepts, such as business recurrence intervals including the day of the month, day of the week, and end of the month (as classes) are needed to support downstream FIBO development, such as for securities and loans.

    In addition, a higher level concept of convention is needed to capture business day adjustments and conventions as their parent class, to clean up the hierarchy.

    A number of the definitions in the BusinessDates should be cleaned up as a part of this revision to follow our policy for use of ISO 704 conventions for definition development as well.

  • Reported: EDMC-FIBO/FND 1.1 — Sun, 12 Feb 2017 00:51 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — EDMC-FIBO/FND 1.2
  • Disposition Summary:

    Several additional concepts are needed in the Business Dates ontology to support specific schedule definitions

    The primary modifications made by this resolution primarily involve the addition of Convention as a structural concept to group some of the others in this ontology and the addition of three classes as business day conventions, including day of the month, day of the week, and end of the month, all of which are needed to support more complex schedule definitions in downstream FIBO ontologies.

    A handful of definitions were revised to support an ISO 704 approach and a couple of missing definitions were added for some properties.

Schedule in FND/DatesAndTimes should be a child of Collection

  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Thematix Partners LLC ( Mrs. Elisa F. Kendall)
  • Summary:

    A schedule is defined as a collection of potential / planned / possible / past / events associated with dates. It has no parent class at the moment, but should be modeled as a child of Collection. It's definition should also be revised to reflect the broader sense as stated herein rather than as a "table of dates", with an explanatory note that talks about the difference between ad hoc and regular schedules.

    There are a number of places in the other downstream FIBO ontologies where the use of a generic hasSchedule property would be appropriate in restrictions, rather than inventing several local and more restricted properties.

    In addition, the custom datatypes for dateValue and durationValue should be deprecated in favor of xsd:string, to eliminate reasoning errors in downstream processing.

    Individuals for the days of the week are also needed to support definition of certain rules for loans (interest payments) and coupon payments. These should be defined as time intervals in accordance with the OMG DTV specification.

    A number of the definitions need to be reformulated to correspond to our policy of using ISO 704-style definitions as well.

comprises needs an explanatory note and inverse property

  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Thematix Partners LLC ( Mrs. Elisa F. Kendall)
  • Summary:

    comprises is used in places in FIBO as a broader concept than has part, that is somewhat related to hasPart (i.e., similar to and possibly a synonym of includes), where we need cardinality restrictions on how many parts of some type that something can have, or on the thing that something must be included in. Comprises is not defined as transitive to facilitate the use of cardinality restrictions.

    In order to help make this clear, we need an explanatory note on comprises, and an inverse for it, possibly called isIncludedIn, that can be used for this purpose.

  • Disposition: Resolved — EDMC-FIBO/FND 1.2
  • Disposition Summary:

    comprises needs an explanatory note and inverse property

    This issue involves adding a note to the definition of comprises as well as creating a new inverse property, isIncludedIn, for use in other downstream ontologies.

    The resolution of this issue depends on the resolution of FIBOFND12-2 and FIBOFND12-3.

The domain of the "uses" and range of "isUsedBy", added in FND 1.1, cause reasoning errors

  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Thematix Partners LLC ( Mrs. Elisa F. Kendall)
  • Summary:

    The "isUsedBy" property links a currency to the geopolitical entity that uses that currency, and was originally intended to be useful with not only autonomous agents but entities such as geopolitical entities in its range.

    The addition of the domain for uses and range for isUsedBy as a part of the FND 1.1 RTF work now cause individuals that are geopolitical entities to be inferred to be AutonomousAgents, which is wrong.

    The domain of uses and range of is used by should be removed, eliminating this constraint, and the definitions revised accordingly.

  • Disposition Summary:

    The domain of the "uses" and range of "isUsedBy", added in FND 1.1, cause reasoning errors

    The correction to this issue involves loosening the domain and range restrictions on two properties: isUsedBy and uses in the Relations ontology, and revising the definition of uses so that it does not refer to an autonomous agent as the entity in the domain of uses.

    Resolution of this issue depends on the resolution to FIBOFND12-2.

  • Source: Thematix Partners LLC ( Mrs. Elisa F. Kendall)
  • Summary:

    provides: makes something available to

    The “to” at the end implies a 3 way relationship between provider, what’s provided and whom it is provided to. In fact the predicate does not involve the latter at all so the “to” should be removed.

    Definition of property 'provides' implies a specific audience

    Resolution of this issue requires (1) modification of the Relations ontology to revise the definition of provides, and (2) modification of Table 10-11, Relations Details, to make the corresponding change to the text of the definition.

    The change to the ontology itself necessitates revision of its version IRI as well.

Individuals representing specific government entities are required to support BE, FBC, and IND

  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Thematix Partners LLC ( Mrs. Elisa F. Kendall)
  • Summary:

    Individuals representing government entities – at the state/province and national levels – for the US, Canada, EU, and UK are needed to support ongoing work in BE, FBC, and IND, and will be needed for additional FIBO specifications in the pipeline.

    Examples include individuals for government agencies such as the Securities Exchange Commission in FBC, regulations such as the Securities Exchange Act in FBC, various jurisdiction-specific legal entities such as an LLC in BE, and for specific indices, e.g., US and Canadian unemployment rates, common interest rates such as LIBOR, and so forth.

    Development of such individuals depends on the resolution to issue FIBOBE11-6, which provides the structure and semantics on which these individuals depend.

  • Summary:

    Individuals representing the government entities for the US, Canada, the EU and the UK are required to support development of concepts such as jurisdiction-specific legal entities in BE, jurisdiction-specific government agencies such as the Securities Exchange Commission and regulations such as the Securities Exchange Act in FBC, specific indicators and common interest rates such as US and Canadian definitions for unemployment rate, LIBOR, and many others.

    Individuals representing the government entities for the US, Canada, the EU and the UK are required to support development of concepts such as jurisdiction-specific legal entities in BE, jurisdiction-specific government agencies such as the Securities Exchange Commission and regulations such as the Securities Exchange Act in FBC, specific indicators and common interest rates such as US and Canadian definitions for unemployment rate, LIBOR, and many others.

    Given that the resolution to FIBOBE11-6 provides the structure and semantics for representing government entities, the resolution to this issue will necessarily depend on the resolution to FIBOBE11-6.

    The content introduced herein is jurisdiction-specific. As a result, and following the approach taken with the FBC RFC, this resolution creates a new Section 10, Jurisdiction-Specific Ontologies, for the purposes of documention. The ontologies consist of individuals only, however, without any new classes, and as a result only the metadata for these ontologies is documented in the specification itself.

    This resolution depends on the resolution of FIBOBE11-6, which defines the classes and properties in the form of the Government Entities ontology on which this resolution depends.

CharteredLegalPerson and StatutoryBody should not be children of JuridicalPerson

  • Key: FIBOBE11-2
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Thematix Partners LLC ( Mrs. Elisa F. Kendall)
  • Summary:

    Both chartered legal persons and statutory bodies are kinds of legal entities that are created by governments and are not "firms". As a result, they should not be children of judicial person. They should have a new parent under legal entity, and chartered legal person should be renamed to chartered body.

    Additionally, the definition of sovereign is really weak, although the intent based on what is modeled is to describe sovereign state rather than the concept of “sovereign” independently from the concept of a sovereign state.

    We need sovereign state for FBC, and to relate sovereign state to the country (geopolitical entity) it corresponds to.

The definition of NaturalPerson in the LegalPersons ontology is inadequate for banking needs

  • Key: FIBOBE11-3
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Thematix Partners LLC ( Mrs. Elisa F. Kendall)
  • Summary:

    Based on review by several bankers and attorneys, the notion of a natural person as currently captured in BE is too broad for legal purposes, and what is actually needed is a narrower definition of legally capable person. A legally capable person is either a legally capable adult or emancipated minor as defined in some jurisdiction.

    The definition of legally capable adult already exists in FND, but here we need to augment that definition to make the connection to a jurisdiction and to make it a child of LegalPerson in the context of BE.

    The definition of NaturalPerson in the LegalPersons ontology is inadequate for banking needs

    The resolution to this issue crosses a number of ontologies, which means that resolving it requires considerable documentation. The issue is also considered lower priority by the 1.1 RTF. Given time constraints, the RTF has determined that we need to defer this to the 1.2 RTF.

    Addressing this issue requires development (1) the resolution to the issues addressed to date by the BE 1.1 RTF, including the new government entities ontologies / individuals, (2) additional government entities individuals, depending on the jurisdictions addressed by the resolution, and (3) research into the various kinds of entities appropriate for any given jurisdiction and creation of new jurisdiction-specific ontologies that provide individuals corresponding to these entities. The work required to address this is significant, and as a result, the BE 1.1 RTF has determined that resolution must be deferred to the BE 1.2 RTF.

Definitions for government entities are urgently required to support FBC, IND, and new FIBO RFCs anticipated in areas including loans and securities

    The FIBO BE 1.0 specification includes a handful of government entities that are inadequate to support requirements for representing a number of kinds of government and government-sponsored organizations. Examples include what are called government-sponsored enterprises in the US, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which are corporations established via statutory law but are privately held corporations, government owned corporations created by Congress such as the FDIC and Federal Reserve banks, government agencies that publish statistics on which many indicators (and derivatives that reference them) depend, supranational government agencies and organizations such as the European Central Bank, various government commissions, such as the Securities and Exchange Commission, and so forth.

    The creation of these definitions in a separate ontology (and module) and moving the 3 existing classes to that ontology will facilitate extensions and the addition of jurisdiction-specific entities, such as for the US, EU, UK and other national and multinational governmental entities as they are identified over time.

    This issue introduces a new section 9.10, Module: Government Entities. The modifications defined herein are primarily additive, i.e., this adds significant new content to the FIBO Business Entities specification. It also adds a new class to the Functional Entities ontology (section 9.7.1) and deprecates three existing classes in the LEI Entities ontology (section 9.2.4, making them equivalent to three new classes for the same concepts in the new Government Entities ontology). Finally, it creates a new “about file” for the BE 1.1 Specification, including the new ontology in its composite set of imports for ease of use by implementers and other FIBO users.

    These changes are needed to support the addition of the business entities described above, as well as to support requirements in FBC and IND for the representation of regulatory agencies, state-backed exchanges and self-regulating organizations, government statistical agencies that publish various economic indicators, and so forth.

    “For the avoidance of doubt, this sub-clause describes diagrams which are to be presented to business subject matter expert and not diagrams which form part of this specification itself. FIBO Model Conformance may be asserted without reference to this conformance point, and model content may be presented to various audiences including business audiences without asserting conformance to this sub-clause.”

    To
    2.4.2 FIBO Business Diagram Conformance
    3. Rename sub-clause 2.4.3

    2.4.3 Business Table Conformance
    To
    2.4.3 FIBO Business Table Conformance
    4. In 2.4.3, in paragraph 1, Delete the words “two kinds of” and replace the words “: Basic Table and Extended Table”, replacing these with “These may range from basic presentation of terms, definitions and synonyms, to tables which represent all of the model content or all model content except relationships between relationships. “ so that paragraph 1 reads:
    This sub clause concerns tabular presentations. These may range from basic presentation of terms, definitions and synonyms, to tables which represent all of the model content or all model content except relationships between relationships. Conformant FIBO Business Tables may be rendered as spreadsheets or as textual documents in a tabular layout.

    5. Rename heading 2.4.3.1 to read:
    “2.4.3.1 Basic Tables”

    6. Rename heading 2.4.3.2 to read:

    “2.4.3.2 Extended Tables”

    7. In 2.4.3.2

    Amend the first bullet, “Class”, to read:

    • Class (including classes which are equivalent to logical unions and classes which are enumerations of individuals)

    After the bullet “Simple Property” add the following new bullet:
    • The relationship between any named class which represents a logical union, and those classes which are members of that union

In addition, and because of the overlap with changes in People, an additional issue, to change the “identifies <something>” properties of IdentityDocument to be “verifies <something>” was also incorporated into this resolution, together with moving a few altLabels to use the FIBO synonym annotation instead.

    Finally, also with respect to the definition of IdentityDocument, the RTF determined that because a passport can identify both a mother and child, the restriction that an identity document identifies exactly 1 person should be relaxed to be someValuesFrom person.

    Two ontologies referenced MoneyAmount before the resolution to issue 44 revised it, and were missed until the "about files" were modified and the two ontologies were included in regression testing.

    This issue affects only these two ontologies and corrects the oversight.

    This issue affects the new section 10.15, Products and Services Module.

    Both ontologies in this section are impacted by this issue.
    This resolution depends on the resolution of issue FIBOFND11-12 and FIBOFND11-44.

A definition for rate is missing from FND/Utilities/Analytics, required to represent interest rate, payment rate, and market rate

  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Thematix Partners LLC ( Mrs. Elisa F. Kendall)
  • Summary:

    We need the definition of "rate" in IND, which should be a child of quantity in the quantities and units ontology, with a definition of "a quantity measured with respect to some other quantity", adapted from http://www.thefreedictionary.com/rate and http://www.icoachmath.com/math_dictionary/rate.html

    We also need a definition for "interest rate", which should be added to currency amount, as a child of rate (above) and monetary measure in currency amount, with the following definition: "a rate of interest charged for the use of money, usually expressed as an annual rate", with explanatory note "The rate is derived by dividing the amount of interest by the amount of principal borrowed. Interest rates are quoted on bills, notes, bonds, credit cards, and many kinds of consumer and business loans.", adapted from "Barron's Dictionary of Finance and Investment Terms, Ninth Edition, 2014.

    This is critical for both securities and IND and should be included in the FIBO FND 1.1 Specification, in addition to the changes required to support FBC.

    This is critical for both securities and IND and should be included in the FIBO FND 1.1 Specification, in addition to the changes required to support FBC.

    Additionally, the Securities specification requires a definition for price, currently missing in currency amount, that includes (1) a basic price, which could result in the exchange of money or something else, such as a financial instrument or something tangible (i.e., a service or other barter), (2) a monetary price, which is a price that involves the exchange of money for something, and (3) a calculated price, which is a price that involves a monetary amount that is calculated via a formula.

    This issue affects sections10.1.3, Analytics, 10.12.2 Currency Amount, and the new section 10.14, Quantities, which was added via the FIBO FBC RFC (adopted in December 2015). It requires that the revisions identified in resolutions to issues FIBOFND11-6, FIBOFND11-8, and FIBOFND11-10, which augment the FIBO FND specification with ontologies for Classification Schemes and Quantities, and revise the Currency Amount ontology to support ISO 4217 Currency Codes, have already been applied, in other words.

    The changes specified in this resolution are incremental, monotonic revisions (i.e., they preserves the set of axioms defined in the ontology in their entirety) to the specification, and thus will not have any negative downstream impact on the FND or other FIBO specifications.
    The changes to the Analytics ontology also correct a reasoning error uncovered during testing of the resolution to this issue, namely, elimination of the use of a custom datatype in favor of the equivalent XML Schema datatype.
