A Financial Industry Business Ontology (FIBO) is a finance-related ontology that provides a common vocabulary and semantic model for representing and understanding financial industry concepts, products, entities, and relationships.
- Context:
- It can (typically) define the key concepts, properties, and relationships within the financial domain, covering areas such as securities, derivatives, loans, corporate actions, business entities, and processes.
- It can (often) establish a standardized, unambiguous, and machine-readable representation of financial terminology and knowledge, enabling data integration, interoperability, and automated reasoning across systems and organizations.
- It can be developed using the Web Ontology Language (OWL), ensuring that concepts are framed in a precise and logically consistent manner.
- It can be hosted and sponsored by the Enterprise Data Management Council (EDM Council), with contributions from industry practitioners, semantic technology experts, and information scientists.
- It can be standardized by the Object Management Group (OMG), and published in various formats, including human-readable glossaries and machine-readable knowledge graphs.
- It can provide a common reference standard for aligning multiple data repositories, facilitating data integration, supporting business process automation, and enabling consolidated views across the financial industry.
- It can promote unambiguous shared meaning and a standardized language for internal and external communication within the financial sector.
- It can support use cases such as securities master data management, regulatory reporting, risk analysis and management, and enabling advanced analytical capabilities for financial services.
- It can have two main release tracks: Production and Development.

- Example(s):
- Counter-Example(s):
- Financial Product Ontologies, which focus on categorizing and defining properties of individual financial products rather than providing a comprehensive model of the entire financial industry.
- Market Data Ontologies, which are designed to handle market data such as prices, volumes, and indices, rather than representing broad financial industry concepts and relationships.
