Issues Descriptions

Integrate the changes made to FIBO FND by FIBO IND with the baseline FND specification

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

    Section 6.4.2 of the FIBO Indices and Indicators (IND) specification augments the FIBO FND specification with (1) the addition of a property (appliesTo) to the Relations ontology, and (2) a new ontology, called Analytics.

    The Analytics ontology requires revision to the specification metadata, revised use of the dct:license property, and integration with other FIBO FND ontologies to be properly integrated into the FND framework.

  • Reported: EDMC-FIBO/FND 1.0b1 — Tue, 23 Sep 2014 18:00 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — EDMC-FIBO/FND 1.0
  • Disposition Summary:

    Integrate the changes made to FIBO FND by FIBO IND with the baseline FND specification

    The Analytics ontology was incorporated by reference into the FIBO FND specification by the FIBO IND specification. The FIBO IND specification was recently adopted by the OMG, however. Thus, the diagrams, metadata, and definitions were not actually present in the baseline version of the specification, nor were they incorporated in the FTF1 version. This issue formally requests integration of the ontology in the main FIBO FND specification.

    Having said this, issue FIBOFTF2-23 extends the original ontology to incorporate terms required for the FIBO SEC specification. Given that the ontology will be incorporated and revised by the resolution to issue #23, the FTF recommends closing this issue to that resolution.

Integrate a new Codes and Coding Schemes ontology with FIBO FND in support of SEC/Securities


Conformance point for extension may be too open

  • Legacy Issue Number: 19601
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Citi ( Dr. Ian Maung)
  • Summary:

    The wording of the conformance criteria for FIBO extensions seems to allow for importing the FIBO ontology and introducing new axioms that can significantly change (by narrowing) the intended meaning of the imported FIBO elements. Please consider whether the wording could be revised from being merely logically consistent to being a conservative extension of the imported FIBO elements.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservative_extension

    In ontology engineering, ontology modules are based on conservative extension:

  • Reported: EDMC-FIBO/FND 1.0b1 — Wed, 17 Sep 2014 04:00 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — EDMC-FIBO/FND 1.0
  • Disposition Summary:

    In addition to being logically consistent, a conformant FIBO extension must be a conservative extension of each FIBO ontology that it imports.

    Currently FIBO has no limits on extensions to its existing ontologies. The intention of this new paragraph is to insure that every conferment FIBO extension is a conservative extension.

Revise section 9 of the FND specification to reflect new metadata strategy

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

    This section of the document should be revised to discuss the "about" files

  • Reported: EDMC-FIBO/FND 1.0b2 — Sat, 25 Oct 2014 18:01 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — EDMC-FIBO/FND 1.0
  • Disposition Summary:

    Add description of About files and edit existing descriptions of metadata to reflect these

    A new set of files are now released the machine readables for every FIBO submission. These have the effect of putting the module metadata in an about file for each module and the specification metadata in an about file for the specification, along with a version-specific about file describing the changes in that specific release.

    These are not currently described in the metadata chapter of the FIBO Foundations specification, where they should be.

    In addition, these are presented as ontologies and have their own namespace abbreviation. Therefore the table showing namespace abbreviations for each specification (including chapter 8 in the Foundations specification) need to include the namespace abbreviations for these.

    This metadata was previously repeated in each ontology file, and no longer is. Any references to that previous arrangement will need to be corrected in Chapter 9.

hasPercentageAmount is semantically flawed

  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Adaptive ( Mr. Pete Rivett)
  • Summary:

    A percentage only makes sense as a percentage of some other value. FIBO is missing the notion of the other value.
    For example a fee expressed as a percentage is (implicitly) a percentage of some amount. But for common occurrences such as a management fee that is "1% of value invested" a lot more precision is needed as to when the value is taken, currency etc.
    In fact percentageMonetaryAmount definition states "A measure of some
    amount of money expressed as a percentage of some other amount,
    some notional amount or some concrete Money Amount" with an editorial note "This will have a relationship to what it is a percentage of.
    Alternatively and for some applications of this term, there may be an
    enumerated list of possible things it is a percentage of."
    However there is no such capability provided that I can see.

  • Reported: EDMC-FIBO/FND 1.0b1 — Tue, 22 Apr 2014 17:56 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — EDMC-FIBO/FND 1.0
  • Disposition Summary:

    Change the representation of percentages so that a percentage can refer to what it is a percentage of

    This Issue Resolution covers the following issues:

    Issue 11: “hasPercentageAmount is semantically flawed”

    Issue 6: “Allow for percentage notional amounts” is merged with this.

    Issue 6 deals with one specific impact of this (on percentage notional in the CurrencyAmounts ontology) which is described here.

    hich is described here.
    Rationale
    It has been pointed out that while percentage exists as a datatype on data feeds the semantics of this are incomplete – it would be more correct semantically to frame percentage in terms of what it is a percentage of
    This means that references to percentage should be replaced: instead of a datatype property with the datatype percent, these should all be object properties with the range of percentage.
    Percentage itself is then to be modeled as a class with an object propery whose range is Thing, identifying the thing that this is a percentage of (unless a mode specific but suitable abstract class comes to hand); and a datatype property of type “percent” being the numeric amount.
    Naming is to be thought about e.g. what is percent and what is percentage, which name to apply to the datatype which contains the numeric % amount and so on.
    Impact is to be assessed – there will be considerable impact in Indices and Indicator and in in future Securities, derivatives etc. models. Impact within Foundations is also to be assessed but is probably minimal. There will be impact on CurrencyAndAmount, where Issue 6 was filed. Use of the new properties should make reference to the concept of Notional Amount.
    The existing percentage datatype is in BusinessFacingTypes
    Change is to be carried out in the BusinessFacingTypes ontology, where these properties are already present. Note that Basis points should be subject to a similar treatment.

Use of property domains and ranges


Add intersection of Control and Ownership

  • Key: FIBOFTF2-9
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Object Management Group ( Mr. Mike Bennett)
  • Summary:

    Include the intersection of ownership and control in Foundations (at present this is only articulated in the context of FIBO-BE).

    Rationale: in most real world contexts ownership implies some degree of control. However this is not universally the case in share ownership (non voting shares do not confer control of the entity that the equity is in; and when control is exercised it is control over the entity you hold equity not control of the thing you own namely the shares). Therefore these concepts have been kept very separate in FIBO so far. However, the more common scenario in which the two go together, should be included in Foundations so it can be picked up when needed.

    This would simplify other applications of ownership and control outside of BE, and would also potentially simplify the way that FIBO-BE OwnershipAndControl is structured since at present these intersections are deep within the Business Entity ownership and control models (modeled bottom-up from voting and non-voting shares and their equivalents in Partnerships etc.)

Several properties and classes in Ownership and Control are missing definitions, and some do not conform to FIBO naming conventions

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

    A number of properties and a few classes were added to the FIBO FND Ownership and Control ontologies to support the structural work completed under FTF 1. None of the new properties or classes have definitions, and some properties do not conform with the naming conventions established for all FIBO ontologies.

    In the Control ontology, the following properties are missing definitions: (1) controlByParty, (2) controlOfThing, (3) isControlledThingInRole, and (4) isControllingPartyInRole. Two of these, controlByParty and controlOfThing are not verbs, which is not conformant with FIBO naming conventions. In the same ontology, the newly added Control and ControlledThing classes are also missing definitions.

    In the Ownership ontology, the following properties are missing definitions: (1) isOwnedThingInRole, (2) isOwningPartyInRole, (3) ownershipByParty, and (4) ownershipOfThing. Two of these, ownershipByParty and ownershipOfThing are also not verbs, i.e., are not conformant with FIBO Naming conventions.

    Changes in Agreements and Contracts ontology; addition of Documents ontology and consequent change in People

    Overview
    This Issue Resolution addresses issue #16. This Issue Resolution also describes changes in response to the merge issue 14 (addition of UnilateralContract).

    There are two components to the proposed changes for issue 16:

    1. Make Contract a sub-class of Agreement (changing its semantics accordingly);

    2. Introduce concepts for the physical expression of Written Contract, drawing upon new document concepts (contract document); also firm up the semantics of transferable contract by relating it to a new type of commitment in the Agreements ontology for commitments at large. There are additional changes in Agreements to firm up the nature of mutual or bilateral contracts, add the commitment at large concept. The concept of a unilateral commitment is already there and did not need to be added.
    In addition

    3. The addition of a Documents ontology, and consequent changes to the People ontology.

    Then for Issue #14
    4. Add Unilateral Contract to Contracts ontology.

Misclassification of PartyInRole and Role

  • Key: FIBOFTF2-8
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Object Management Group ( Mr. Mike Bennett)
  • Summary:

    Misclassification of Role and PartyInRole in Owbnership and Control ontologies. Also happens in FIBO-BE (separate issue to cover that).

    Existing pattern uses a cascading sequence of restrictions and logical unions, the end result of which is to cause types of PartyInRole (in OwnershipAndControl) to be classified as types of Role

    See FND Control ontology, restrictions 01 and 02. See restrictions 04 and 06 in Ownership ontology.

  • Reported: EDMC-FIBO/FND 1.0b1 — Fri, 21 Mar 2014 02:11 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — EDMC-FIBO/FND 1.0
  • Disposition Summary:

    Change range of hasRole to ThingInRole; other changes to OrganizationMember

    The issue as described indicates a misclassification of roles versus parties in roles when a reasoner is run on the model as it was at Beta1.

    Subsequent changes in Beta2 render the original issue moot since it is unlikely that the changed model would yield the same results.

    As part of the remodeling of Ownership and Control, changes were made in FTF1 which also render the property ‘hasRole’, with domain of Thing and range of Role would also either be moot, or would require a new domain and / or range.

    This proposed resolution is to have hasRole with a domain of ThingInRole and a range of Role, making effectively a terminological equivalence to the semantics of the role as defined for the ThingInRole class (e.g. Issuer).

    Changes described for OrganizationMember (in the Parties ontology) remain as they were in the previous proposed resolution to this issue.

    Detailed analysis:
    There is a restriction on this property in the ontology Roles:
    ThingInRole is sub class of fibo-fnd-pty-rl-02 onProperty hasRole min 1 onClass Role

    This is retained.

    Previous usages of hasRole:
    In Control – property restriction 02 (this is now onProperty ‘isPlayedBy’instead of ‘hasRole’)

    In Ownership: Property restriction 06 (this is now onProperty ‘isPlayedBy’ instead of ‘hasRole’)

    There is one other usage of this property, in Parties:
    fibo-fnd-pty-pty:OrganizationMember

    In Parties: Property restriction 04 – this is a parent of OrganizationMember and forms part of a complex restriction cascade whereby OrganizationMember is necessarily a member of the class of things with property hasRole, with someValuesFrom the restriction on property isMemberOf allvalueFrom Organization.

    Change: as with the previous 2 restrictions, this should now be in property isPlayedBy. This means that an organization member, as a party in a role, is played by (a kind of hasIdentity relationship), that which is a member of some organization.

  • Summary:

    TakesForm property should be segregated into 2 or 3 separate concepts.

    Currently there is a "takesForm" property in Ownership which is a subProperty of the hasIdentity relationship (as intended). This gets re-used in other contexts where a different meaning is intended, i.e. the form which an economic resource takes, as distinct from the form which an asset takes. Make takesForm more general than just the ownership context and then create sub-properties for the different meanings, with localized restriction on those properties for additional applications of these separate meanings.

The issue is therefore deferred to the FIBO Foundations RTF which will be chartered at the December OMG DTC Plenary and will be closed immediately thereafter.

    Provision of XMI export capabilities by NoMagic will provide clean export of UML XMI from ODM-compliant models regardless of whether these are produced using VOM or using a vanilla ODM implementation in Cameo / MagicDraw. This will be loadable by any suitably XMI compliant UML modeling tool, and should therefore address the issue as raised provided the user was using a tool which is XMI compliant.

    A vanilla ODM profile in one place with no dependencies on VOM or anything else will enable data exchange including diagrams.

    NM will demonstrate this at the OMG meeting in Long Beach in December 2014. This will address FIBOFTF2-1 to the extent that the tools people are using will support it.

Inconsistent use of "entity" in definitions

  • Summary:

    In some cases it's used to represent "thing" - for example takesForm is (inadequately) defined as: "identifies the form the entity takes"; in others it's used to represent "IndependentParty" (or similar) as in the definition for isheldBy "something that is possessed by and at least partially under the control of some entity, which can be used or acted on by the holder, regardless of ownership".
    We should review all uses of "entity" and ideally replace by a term that has a formal definition in FIBO e.g. Independentparty (and we should update the domain/range of the properties to reflect that).

    Implement minor changes in Agreement and Control for FIBOFTF55

    At a Subject Matter Expert review with GRCTC the following observations were made which should be taken into account in the Agreements and Contracts ontologies”
    • Contracts are necessarily bilateral – this does not mean they have two parties (bipartite) but that they have two sides
    • Agreements with more than two sides, for example partnership agreements, are not contracts in that sense but are agreements
    o FIBO BE will also need to be changed, to make OrganizationCoveringAgreement a child of Agreement not Contract
    • CommitmentAtLarge should be a kind of UnilateralCommitment.
    • A further kind of unilateral commitment would be one where one party makes a commitment explicitly to another party with their agreement. We did not discuss a name for this.
    • Contract types should follow this, with TransferableContract becoming a kind of UnilateralContract (as well as its current parentage)
    • TransferableContract was our own made-up name. Discussed whether there is a better name covering not only securities but other kinds of contract that can be passed on without the involvement of the principal, such as software licenses.
    o Agreed we could call this NegotiableContract
    • There is a separate legal situation in which a contract is assignable – this is where some part of the responsibilities of one or other party is handed on to a third party such as a bank, with the agreement of the principal. The two parties to the contract remain parties to that contract.
    o This is covered in the definition and notes for isAssignable already and in an editorial note on TransferableContract
    • Covering agreements such as a Master Agreement in swaps trading forms part of the arrangements around an agreement or transaction, by way of a kind of “Mechanism”
    o We need not include this in FIBO Foundations but would want to consider it when implementing the REA concepts for Derivatives.
    Not all of these insights will be implemented at the present time, for example we don’t really have the means to describe “sides” of an agreement – these would need to be framed in terms of clusters of commitments made by each party to the other(s).
    We also do not have an obvious means of framing the “Mechanism” role of a master agreement, and will need to think about this during work on derivatives.

    1. Add two new classes to the FIBO FND Places/Countries ontology: Municipality, as a child of GeopoliticalEntity, and BusinessCenter, as a child of Municipality.

    2. The skos:definition for Municipality should be “an urban administrative division having corporate status and usually powers of self-government or jurisdiction”, with fibo-fnd-utl-av:explanatoryNote of “A municipality is a general-purpose administrative subdivision, as opposed to a special-purpose district.”, and skos:example of “A municipality can be any political jurisdiction from a sovereign state, such as the Principality of Monaco, or a small village, such as West Hampton Dunes, New York.”. An additional skos:scopeNote should read, “The territory over which a municipality has jurisdiction may encompass:

    • only one populated place such as a city, town, or village
    • several of such places (e.g., early jurisdictions in the state of New Jersey (1798-1899) as townships governing several villages, Municipalities of Mexico)
    • only parts of such places, sometimes boroughs of a city such as the 34 municipalities of Santiago, Chile.”
      The fibo-fnd-utl-av:adaptedFrom property should have a value of “http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Municipality”.
      3. The skos:definition for BusinessCenter should be “a municipality where business is conducted, especially one that is considered a financial center”, with fibo-fnd-utl-av:adaptedFrom of “FpML Business Center and related codes, see http://www.fpml.org/coding-scheme/business-center-7-14.xml”.
      B. Insert a new Module: Dates and Times, with three new ontologies: FinancialDates, Occurrences, and BusinessDates.
       Add a new “About” file with the module metadata, including the module abbreviation fibo-fnd-dt
       Update the specification metadata in the specification About file(s) to include references to the new module and ontologies.

Ontology imports not updated to reflect new policy or recent changes

  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Object Management Group ( Mr. Mike Bennett)
  • Summary:

    There are 3 things that needed to be done in OWL files subsequent to the completion of the written specification. These are:
    • Missing imports
    • Missing ‘references’ relationships
    • Use of non compliant text characters from Word (smart quotes, em dashes etc.)

    The “Missing” imports are the only ones of these that will impact the written specification, where these will need to be added to the imports list in the ontology metadata in Section 10.

    There are two kinds of “Missing” imports:
    • Non conformance with the recent stated policy of including an import for every element that is directly reference from an ontology, even if it is already in the imports chain; (note there are also too many imports in many cases because of this)
    • At least one where there was no import of some element in the imports chain, which would cause the ontology to fail for those users who use the conformance point whereby they use a FIBO ontology in isolation.

Issues uncovered in lint tests and reviews

  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Object Management Group ( Mr. Mike Bennett)
  • Summary:

    Lint findings: these point to model features in which it is possible that the model is saying something other than we intend it to say. These are therefore investigated as part of testing.

    Two lints were found which represented possible issue with the use of equivalent class axioms. Specifically, the equivalence was related to a class which itself had other sub class relationships which may cause the model to say more than we want it to say. These were:

    • People – there is a union class which is equivalent to the named class “LegallyCapablePerson” while this is also a sub class of Person

    • Contracts: there is one equivalent class relationship to a restruction, but there are also two other restrictions with subClassOf relations to this class, and it also has two parent classes (UnilateralContract and WrittenContract). Some but not all of these were introduced after the equivalentClasswasintroduced.

    Additional analysis of the Contract model also reveals that while the property ‘isEvidencedBy’ is defined with relation to the class “WrittenContract”, what we actually intended to say was that a written contract is defined by the fact that it has the propertyisEvidenecdBy. This requires a restriction in addition to the presence of that property.

    Lint Details
    People
    People.rdf has this issue with LegallyCapablePerson:

    </owl:Class>

    The subclassof Person should be removed.
    Contracts
    The lint report from pellet is that it doesn't like complex class expressions as subclasses of other things. This happens in TransferableContract (expurgated quote):

    fibo-fnd-agr-ctr:TransferableContract
    a owl:Class ;
    rdfs:label "transferable contract" ;
    rdfs:subClassOf fibo-fnd-agr-ctr:WrittenContract , fibo-fnd-agr-ctr:UnilateralContract ;
    owl:equivalentClass [ a owl:Restriction ;
    owl:minQualifiedCardinality "1"^^xsd:nonNegativeInteger ;
    owl:onClass fibo-fnd-agr-ctr:ContractOriginator ;
    owl:onProperty fibo-fnd-agr-ctr:hasPrincipal
    ] .

    The issue, from Pellet's point of view, is that equivalentClass to a complex expression (a cardinality restriction) and the subclass to a named class (two of them, in fact).

    There is another issue in this pattern that is potentially problematic, and that is that having the restriction equivalent to this class means that anything that satisfies this restriction (e.g., has a single principal that is a ContractOriginator) is therefore a transferrable contract (and is therefore a WrittenContract and a UnilateralContract).

Transferable contract model element should be renamed to TransferableContract

  • Summary:

    The class NegotiableContract (formerly TransferableContract) is to be renamed to TransferableContract

    The original name "transferable contract' was selected as being self-defining but was not a legally attested label. This was changed to NegotiableContract as this is a parent of negotiable securities (it is what they are a kind of). However this label introduces an implication of negotiability between parties in a mutually agreed, bilateral contract which is not what is intended. What is intended is the definition of kinds of contract (not all of them negotiable financial securities) in which there is a commitment at large extended by one party to that contract so that the other party may purchase or sell that contract. In the absence of a legal label we should revert to the self-defining label "TransferableContract"

    With the introduction of the FinancialDates ontology, there are many properties which are currently framed as datatype properties with the dateTime datatype but are actually intended to refer to dates. Now that the concept of Date is available as a class in FinancialDates a number of properties in different ontologies should be replaced by object properties with a range of Date.

Financial Dates incorrect properties usage

  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Object Management Group ( Mr. Mike Bennett)
  • Summary:

    Following the tightening up of domains and ranges in FIBOFTF2-10, some of the usages of one property in the Dates and Times module cause incorrect classification. Three classes that have restrictions on the property “designates” are now reclassified as Autonomous Agents because the property in Relations now has a domain of AutonomousAgent.

    Following the investigation described below, it was decided that all three usages of this property should be replaced with the use of the property 'comprises (in Relations). See below for reasoning and alternatives considered.

    Discussion
    From Elisa Kendall:
    There are three places where 'designates' is used in FinancialDates:
    AdHocScheduleEntry, RegularSchedule, and ScheduleStub. The sense that Mark had originally was that a schedule entry would designate an
    occurrence kind, so that an occurence of that schedule entry would be of
    exactly that occurrence kind. We have two options here:

    (1) remove AutonomousAgent as the domain of designates, or (2) use a
    different property in FinancialDates in these restrictions, revising the
    definitions appropriately.

    My preference is that we do (1), since I think the usage is in keeping
    with the definition of designates before AutonomousAgent was added as
    its domain, but if you were to do (2), an alternate property would be
    denotes.

    Investigation
    The restrictions are actually in the ontology “Occurrences” where there are additional assertions applied to the three classes named above (via three proxy classes in VOM). The three applications of this property are therefore all in the Occurrences ontology.

    The semantics of “designates’ was significantly overhauled in FIBOFTF2-10 (the ‘Property Domains and Ranges’ issue resolution). The original dispensation of designates, hasDesignation and the child property ‘appoints’ and its inverse ‘isAppointedBy’ were inconsistent with each other and with the stated definition, which explicitly referred to the deliberate act of designating (therefore by some person), some other person to some role or position.

    The suggested alternative above is to use ‘denotes’.

    The property ‘denotes’ is a child of ‘represents’ and links a class of “Representation” to a class of thing which it represents – that is, this is a relationship between some form of representation and something which it is a representation of, the form of representation in this case being denotation.

    The use of ‘denotes’ would work if it is OK to regard AdHocScheduleEntry, RegularSchedule, and ScheduleStub as kinds of representation, which will be OK if the semantics of “Schedule” (being the parent of RegularSchedule, and ScheduleStub) is intended to refer to the data representation of a set of dates and events, and not to the set of dates and events itself.

    There are two possible meanings of “Schedule” in general: it may mean a set of dates and events or it may mean the representation of those. Given the split between ad hoc and regular schedules, this would suggest the latter. That is, the real thing in the world which is a set of dates on which events occur, may be represented by one of two means: as an ad hoc listing of dates with an event for each, or as a parametric representation from which the individual occurrences of the event may be calculated.
    This would make the use of ‘denotes’ appropriate.

    On the other hand, Schedule itself has a property ‘hasOverallPeriod’ which is described as a date period, and the third class in the above, AdHocScheduleEntry has a property ‘hasDate’ which takes the Range of ‘Date’. These suggest that Schedule and AdHocScheduleEntry are really intended to be real things that are a schedule or schedule entry and that have a duration or a date (otherwise the properties would be ‘definesOverallPeriod’ and ‘definesDate’) which they are not. These properties are themselves sub properties of ‘has’, meaning that they are an actual characteristic of a thing and not a data representation of a characteristic of a thing.

    That being the case, it would be wrong to cause the model to infer that a Schedule or an ad hoc schedule entry are really kinds of representation, and therefore it would be wrong to use the property ‘denotes’. What is needed instead is an assertion that a schedule, stub or ad hoc entry each includes as part of it, some event (the OccurrenceKind which is the target of the required property as restricted in each case).

    It would also be optimal to use an existing property in Relations if there is one.

    Therefore the best solution is to use the property ‘comprises’ from Relations. This has a domain and range of Thing and has the definition: “includes, especially within a particular scope, is made up of”.
    This has the effect of saying that a regular schedule, a schedule stub and an ad hoc schedule entry each comprises (among other things e.g. the date or regular period), some kind of occurrence i.e. some event.

  • Summary:

    A percentage only makes sense as a percentage of some other value. FIBO is missing the notion of the other value.
    For example a fee expressed as a percentage is (implicitly) a percentage of some amount. But for common occurrences such as a management fee that is "1% of value invested" a lot more precision is needed as to when the value is taken, currency etc.
    In fact percentageMonetaryAmount definition states "A measure of some
    amount of money expressed as a percentage of some other amount,
    some notional amount or some concrete Money Amount" with an editorial note "This will have a relationship to what it is a percentage of.
    Alternatively and for some applications of this term, there may be an
    enumerated list of possible things it is a percentage of."
    However there is no such capability provided that I can see.

    hasPercentageAmount is semantically flawed

    Percentage is only used when it is already a percentage OF something. When we come to the places where percentage is used, we can add assertions in those specific models, we can add some assertion to show what the percentage is a percentage of. MB will do this for Indices and we will see whether we have all the bits we need in Foundations to support this.

"MB notes: Pete is right. Only a unique combination of an identifier and the scheme under which that identifier is framed, can be considered to uniquely identify a thing and it is never the unique or only thing which does so. The assertion of isFunctional has been added at some point without review, justification or discussion, and is wrong. This has been discussed before and either removed or vetoed.

yesOrNo is not the same as Boolean

  • Key: FIBOFTF-85

  • Summary:

    The lexical space for xs:boolean is

    {true, false, 1, 0}

    http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#boolean

    Hence it's not correct to say that yesOrNo is equivalent to boolean unless, absurdly, it does not permit the values "yes" and "no". Either the name of the type should be changed (e.g. to trueOrFalse) or a mapping defined between it and boolean.
    Either way this could have a large impact on other parts of FIBO using this type.

Inconsistent use of "entity" in definitions

  • Summary:

    In some cases it's used to represent "thing" - for example takesForm is (inadequately) defined as: "identifies the form the entity takes"; in others it's used to represent "IndependentParty" (or similar) as in the definition for isheldBy "something that is possessed by and at least partially under the control of some entity, which can be used or acted on by the holder, regardless of ownership".
    We should review all uses of "entity" and ideally replace by a term that has a formal definition in FIBO e.g. Independentparty (and we should update the domain/range of the properties to reflect that).

    OWA vs CWA
Many of the assertions of Appendix C wrt logical vs. semantic models are unnecessarily broad and disputable. The key and most helpful idea is that logical models describe a system that is already abstracted away from the real world, while semantic models purport to describe the real world itself.
ìA closed world model such as a database is built with the assumption that there is data available for each field defined in the database for a given record. An open world model does not make this assumption, and so facts may be asserted whether or not there is data to correspond to those facts. This is what gives a semantic model the capability to express facts which define things.î
The person who wrote this has obviously never encountered a NULL in a SQL database. Really, this is close to word salad. Given the tabular presentation of the ontology, Iím pretty sure it can be loaded into a set relational tables. As the Internet would say, ìYour argument is invalid.î Methinks she doth protest too much, consider revising.
    More importantly, open vs. closed world assumptions are Things which need to be in the Foundation! Accounting and a good piece of Contract Law make the CWA, while other modules make the OWA. If you have one Address that youíve told me about, you might have others as well.

    The Accounting module is a good example of the question of knowing where to stop in a foundational ontology. Why define Retained Earnings but not Minority Interest? Why an Accounting module but not an Audit module? The answers to these questions are either absent or not well justified.
    Similarly, there is an Organizations module, though everything in the module is generic and not specific to the financial services industry. Why, therefore, does it exist? If it does exist, why does it not contain financial industry concepts such as Exchange or Market?
    Asset appears in two modules, Ownership and Accounting. The relationship is not made clear. A number of (IMHO) fundamental concepts are not represented anywhere that I could easily see ñ Risk, Loss, Price and Value. I think these are worthy of inclusion.

    The property has subsequently been renamed to reduce potential confusion between two types of ownership property (direct between owner and thing, and indirect between party and asset which is a thing).

    If the policy on usage of "has" changes this issue may be impacted.

isAssignable incorrect domain and missing label

  • Source: Object Management Group ( Mr. Mike Bennett)
  • Summary:

    The restriction on the property 'isAssignable' has a contract-specific definition but is given a domain of Thing, with a restriction replacing this definition for Contract itself.

    Since the concept of being assignable only has this meaning with regard to contracts of one sort or another, there is no clear value in replacing this property with a restriction. Nor is there any more general kind of assignability concept of which the contract-specific one is a restriction. The definition in place for this property is already the contract-specific definition from the original model, so that did not need to change (but would have been wrong when the domain was Thing).

    Review whether the restriction is still needed 9it has the function of stating that a contract always has the property of isAssignable meaning in the open world that a contract is always either assignable or not assignable, which is true.

Wrong use of dct:license property

  • Key: FIBOFTF-8
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Adaptive ( Mr. Pete Rivett)
  • Summary:

    I just noticed that it's http://purl.org/dc/terms/LicenseDocument
    Whereas we seem to be treating it as a datatype property – though with different types xs:string or xs:anyURI.
    Is this right? Am I missing something?

    In fact I found this http://wiki.dublincore.org/index.php/User_Guide/Publishing_Metadata#dcterms:license where it explicitly says that dct:license should NOT be used with a literal: though even in this example it does not seem that the GPL has been declared with rdf:type of LicenseDocument.

    Here’s a better example http://code.creativecommons.org/viewgit/license.rdf.git/tree/cc/licenserdf/licenses/creativecommons.org_licenses_MIT_.rdf
    In fact since this is the license we use, we could just reference someting like this: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/MIT/ since it subtypes dct:LicenseDocument (and seems to do a neat redirect)

    (cc:License inherits from dct:LicenseDocument as here http://code.creativecommons.org/viewgit/license.rdf.git/tree/cc/licenserdf/rdf/schema.rdf

    <rdfs:Class rdf:about="http://creativecommons.org/ns#License">
    <rdfs:label xml:lang="en-US">License</rdfs:label>
    <rdfs:comment xml:lang="en-US">a set of
    requests/permissions to users of a Work, e.g. a
    copyright license, the public domain, information
    for distributors</rdfs:comment>
    <rdfs:subClassOf rdf:resource="http://purl.org/dc/terms/LicenseDocument"/>
    </rdfs:Class>

    If we don’t trust an external URL and we want the full MIT wording in FIBO it should go in a separate element with rdf:type of dct:LicenseDocument.
    Perhaps we could just store it once in FIBO Foundations and reference it there. That way, if anything should need to change, it only need be in one place. And it avoids the problems VOM might have in exporting it (we could fix up the type by hand if necessary in the one place it appears).

    Wrong use of dct:license

    The original set of FIBO FND ontologies included the use of the dct:license property in the headers of every ontology to reflect the actual text of the MIT License (free to use with attribution) as well as a link to the license on the MIT site.

    The AB's specification metadata recommendation has been revised to add an individual of type dct:LicenseDocument, whose properties include the license text and a link to the actual license.

    FIBO ontologies should be modified to reflect this change, referring to the individual in specification metadata and eliminating the license text altogether.

    As a part of the revision to the specification metadata, we have moved the MITLicense named individual to the specification metadata. Further changes to the AnnotationVocabulary to reflect the new strategy of (1) use of Individual ontologies to describe the FIBO specification family, FND specification, and each of the modules, to be posted to the OMG site on the specification family, specification, and relevant machine-readable file pages

Certain address properties should be ObjectProperty, not DataProperty

  • Key: FIBOFTF-9
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Enterprise Knowledge Graph Foundation ( Dennis Wisnosky)
  • Summary:

    Certain address properties are defined as type DataProperty when they should be defined more expressively as type ObjectProperty. The impact of not doing this is to reduce the ability to associate address content with more expansive attributes. The following elements should be redefined as string values by themselves are not very descriptive and prevent further linkage.

    
a. hasCountryName should be replaced with an ObjectProperty of referencesCountry (where the range is a Country entity). The Country entity can be selected by the user (ISO3166, FAO, or other)

    
b. hasPostalCode should be replaced with an ObjectProperty of referencesPostalArea (where the range is a PostalArea entity). The PostalArea entity would have various object a data properties that describe its scope and indicators. Specifically it would point to a geographic region, as well as specify postal code identifiers e.g. 5 digit and 9 digit codes, as well as other country specific indicators.
c. hasLocality should be replaced with an ObjectProperty (where the range is an Locality entity). This can be tied to data property that specifies its name.


    d. hasStateAbbreviation and hasStateName should not be tied to PostalAddress but instead PostalAddress should be associated with a single ObjectProperty of referencesState (where the range is a State entity). hasStateAbbreviation and hasStateName can be data type properties associated with the State entity.


    e. hasPOBox should be replaced with an ObjectProperty of referencesPOBox (where the range is a POBox entity).

    
f. hasStreetAddress should be replaced with an ObjectProperty of referencesStreetAddress (where the range is an entity called Street Address, which has a set of descriptive data properties pertaining to streetAddress1, streetAddress2, etc., and perhaps ObjectProperties referencing building, floor, suite.

The current Addresses.rdf specification does not allow for the temporality of addresses that are associated with an entity

  • Key: FIBOFTF-1
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Enterprise Knowledge Graph Foundation ( Dennis Wisnosky)
  • Summary:

    1) The current Addresses.rdf specification does not allow for the temporality of addresses that are associated with an entity. Addresses change over time. For example, a corporate mailing address may change. It would be useful to introduce the ability to define an n-ary relation between an entity and an address, such that the n-ary relation that describes the address relation can include various date values, e.g. effective or start date, termination date or end-date, or even perhaps as-of-date. This would support the ability to track address changes over time. This also is equivalent to the notion that addresses are ìthings in a roleî. The role relation must reflect temporality.

    The current Addresses.rdf specification does not allow for the temporality of addresses that are associated with an entity

    The FIBO FND specification provides a conceptual model for addresses, not an operational one. Temporality and other features specific to various applications have not been included as they are out of scope, in other words.

    Having said this, the FTF agrees that there are a number of data properties that assume certain structures of addresses that are overly constraining, and FIBO FND users should be able to map addresses to any standard or practice used in their organizations. As a result, the resolution to this issue involves elimination of all data properties in the addresses ontology, the addition of two ontologies (Arrangements and IdentifiersAndIndices) in a new module (Arrangements), a new class called AddressingScheme, and creating relationships between address and addressing scheme through property restrictions.

    Ontology of Space and Time
    While FIBO only concerns itself with the financial industry, it would be a great help if it referred to more generic ontologies where they were available and appropriate, otherwise there will be a large opportunity/danger of re-inventing the wheel. An example would be a time ontology such as OWL-Time. It really is necessary to define that start times come before end times. There is a need to define ëborderí, etc. These are examples of Things that should have definition in other ontologies, and it would help FIBO users if they were pointed to appropriate candidate ontologies.

    Comments:

    I do believe that FIBO Foundation ontologies are suitable for adoption as an OMG specification with the inclusion of the below recommendations.
    1) PostalAddress should be represented with object properties moreso than data properties. City, country, postal region, etc. are things in their own right and not just strings. We can create FIBO class abstractions to support inclusion of user specified ontologies ( e.g. ISO3166, FAO, user devloped et.al) as subClasses
    2) Address should be represented as a temporal relation, which is conceptually equivalent to the notion that addresses are 'things in a role'.
    3) The objectProperty ëhasí is too generic and does not provide the level of expressivity needed when associated with Address as a range. Should be 'hasAddress'.
    4) Replace the class UrbanCenter with PopulationCenter.

Incorrect definition for ContractCounterparty

  • Key: FIBOFTF-60
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Object Management Group ( Mr. Mike Bennett)
  • Summary:

    In Contracts.rdf a definition has been introduced for "ContractCounterparty" which is that of counterparty to a transaction not a contract. It is sourced from a definition for "counterparty" not contract counterparty and the editorialNote contains a request from Elisa Kendall that we consider changing the name of this term to simply "counterparty". This would have the effect of changing all three of the name, definition and intended meaning of this concept, to a different concept. As the model stands it has the label and intended semantics of one concept and the definition of a separate concept, which is incorrect.

    The original model has a definition for this concept which was replaced by the above without peer review. Recommendation: re-instate the existing definition if a better definition cannot be sourced for the concept which was originally modeled here.

    Additional impact: If we plan to use editorialNote for internal exchanges then these should not be reported in the spec (raise a formal change note on the tabular report generation plug-in to eliminate these).

    In Contracts.rdf a definition has been introduced for "ContractCounterparty" which is that of counterparty to a transaction not a contract. It is sourced from a definition for "counterparty" not contract counterparty and the editorialNote contains a request from Elisa Kendall that we consider changing the name of this term to simply "counterparty". This would have the effect of changing all three of the name, definition and intended meaning of this concept, to a different concept. As the model stands it has the label and intended semantics of one concept and the definition of a separate concept, which is incorrect. The original model has a definition for this concept which was replaced by the above without peer review. Recommendation: re-instate the existing definition if a better definition cannot be sourced for the concept which was originally modeled here.

Add intersection of Control and Ownership

  • Key: FIBOFTF-59
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Object Management Group ( Mr. Mike Bennett)
  • Summary:

    Include the intersection of ownership and control in Foundations (at present this is only articulated in the context of FIBO-BE).

    Rationale: in most real world contexts ownership implies some degree of control. However this is not universally the case in share ownership (non voting shares do not confer control of the entity that the equity is in; and when control is exercised it is control over the entity you hold equity not control of the thing you own namely the shares). Therefore these concepts have been kept very separate in FIBO so far. However, the more common scenario in which the two go together, should be included in Foundations so it can be picked up when needed.

    This would simplify other applications of ownership and control outside of BE, and would also potentially simplify the way that FIBO-BE OwnershipAndControl is structured since at present these intersections are deep within the Business Entity ownership and control models (modeled bottom-up from voting and non-voting shares and their equivalents in Partnerships etc.)

Overpopulated definitions in People.rdf

  • Key: FIBOFTF-61
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Object Management Group ( Mr. Mike Bennett)
  • Summary:

    Most of the "definition" elements in people.rdf are way too long for definitions and contain narrative material.

    Segregate narrative from definition and put the former in separate explanatoryNote annotations, for almost all classes in people.rdf (review all, segregate text as required). As an example, the definition of BirthCertificate includes discussion of the role of a midwife or doctor in relation to this document, which is not definitional of that kind of document in any way.

    Definition should ideally be a single sentence and should set out unambiguously what the class or property is intended to mean. Examples and discussions must always be separate, even though many on line web sources include such run-on text as part of what they call the definition.

Use of property domains and ranges

  • Summary:

    Many properties (especially but not only in Relations.rdf) are set at too high a level of generality. Properties which are given with a domain and range of "Thing" include many properties whose definition and intended meaning are specific to a given context, such as Contract or Organization.

    Properties should always be defined at the level at which they apply, and ideally should be placed in an ontology for the subject matter to which they apply.

    Specific examples are given in two additional Issues already raised. See for example the usage of hasEffectiveDate (Issue #33)

    Can we not use a restriction (RDF syntax looks ugly but came from "personAge" in OLW2 Primer):

    <rdfs:Datatype rdf:about="&fibo-fnd-utl-bt;percentage">
    <rdfs:label>percentage</rdfs:label>
    <owl:equivalentClass >
    <rdfs:Datatype>
    <owl:onDatatype rdf:resource="&xsd;decimal"/>
    <owl:withRestrictions rdf:parseType="Collection">
    <rdf:Description>
    <xsd:minInclusive rdf:datatype="&xsd;decimal">0</xsd:minInclusive>
    </rdf:Description>
    <rdf:Description>
    <xsd:maxInclusive rdf:datatype="&xsd; decimal ">100</xsd:maxInclusive>
    </rdf:Description>
    </owl:withRestrictions>
    <rdfs:Datatype>
    </owl:equivalentClass >
    </rdfs:Datatype>

    Similar errors also affect other datatypes:

    • basisPoints
    • restrictedPercentage

    Logical error in definitions of BusinessFacingTypes

    Several definitions in BusinessFacingTypes appear to be incorrectly specified, including percentage, restrictedPercentage, and basisPoints. All three are declared to be equivalent to xsd:decimal, which seems wrong from a logical perspective.
