FEF: Financial Ontology

Semantic Web ‘Financial Exchange Framework’ (FEF) Ontology

FEF supports the conceptual model proposed in Financial Exchange Theory (FET).

Financial Exchange Theory provides a basis for the definition of financial entities such as international financial products, financial transactions, financial services and monitoring positions. Financial components, relating to generic functions within international financial markets, are put together following a simple set of rules to create all the above financial entities. 

FEF is defined as classes, relationships and constraints; actual international financial market entities are recorded as instances. The structure and nature of all financial entities can thus be seen and compared.

FEF was created using Stanford University 's ontology defining tool, "Protege 2000".

FEF is an initiative by International Financial Information Publishing Ltd (Ifip) and has been created based upon the proprietary ‘I-Format’ data model marketed by Ifip for enterprise-wide publication of financial transaction processing data.

FEF only contains those components and attributes required to describe FET. Initially only a limited number of financial entities will be defined within FEF.
