FIBO Mapping

The Financial Industry Business Ontology (FIBO) is an industry-standard, machine-readable ontology for the financial services industry. This page documents how Triodian domains map to FIBO concepts, enabling semantic interoperability and linked data capabilities.

Mapping Version: 2.1
FIBO Version: 2024Q1
Format: OWL/RDF compatible with JSON-LD

Overview​

What is FIBO?​

FIBO is developed by the EDM Council and Object Management Group (OMG) to provide:

  • Standardized definitions — Consistent meaning for financial concepts
  • Semantic relationships — Machine-readable connections between concepts
  • Regulatory alignment — Concepts aligned with financial regulations
  • Data interoperability — Enable data sharing across organizations

Usage Guidelines​

When to Use FIBO Mappings​

  • Regulatory reporting — BCBS 239, MiFID II, Dodd-Frank data requirements
  • Data exchange — Industry data sharing initiatives
  • Knowledge graphs — Building semantic financial knowledge bases
  • AI/ML applications — Training models with standardized concepts

Implementation Considerations​

  1. Namespace management — Use consistent FIBO namespace URIs
  2. Version tracking — FIBO releases quarterly; track version alignment
  3. Extension patterns — Extend FIBO classes for Triodian-specific properties
  4. Validation — Use OWL reasoners to validate mappings
For Data Engineers

FIBO provides the semantic foundation for financial data catalogs. When integrating with OpenMetadata, FIBO classes can serve as business glossary terms, enabling consistent definitions across technical and business metadata.
