This issue represents specification modifications that are editorial in nature only, and that correspond to the changes made when this specification was promoted for standardization through ANSI X9.

The goal with this revision (FIGI 1.1) is to update the standard to match precisely what ANSI published, with no other changes included.

See the attached MS Word document for the changes, using track changes.

6.2.3 This is not sufficient to individuate the financial instrument,
however, as organizations issue financial instruments with exactly the same name but that trade on different exchanges.
This is a distinction that is absent in other identifiers, but serves as an individuating characteristic for FIGI.If FIGI is used a the master key in a reference database inconsistencies arise "

I do ot believe the FIGI implementation adheres to this - namely

1) All preferred's on North American Exchanges have the same FIGI yet these a discrete tradeabe instruments on different exchanges , exactly like cash equities

Currently, the FIGI ontologies use the specification metadata, which, although it is still used to manage the online catalog, is no longer used for ontology documentation. Instead, all new submissions are using the Commons Annotation Vocabulary, which is a formal OMG standard rather than an internal file.

The ontologies and metadata files for FIGI should be updated accordingly.
