EDM Council wishes to thank
and
for sponsoring the 2011 Industry Benchmarking Survey
|
All EDM Council articles, presentations, and working documents relating to the implementation of standards are posted here in reverse chronological order.
The EDM Council and the Object Management Group (OMG) have commenced a series of scheduled meetings with the industry
to collaboratively develop formal data standards for financial reform based on the EDM Councils Semantics Repository
work. Separate work-streams have been created in order to streamline the work of creating and registering these standards.
General Session: Providing an update on the overall status/progress/issues relating to the projects.
Technical Model Framework: Update the metamodel in line with latest ODM; decisions on disposition
of non ODM meta-terms; proposed extensions to (non ODM) meta-terms. Production of OWL deliverables from Semantics Repository.
Content Disposition and Prioritization: Decisions about the components of the standard and the priority of release.
Shared Semantics Disposition and modeling of common semantics in the "Global Terms" part of the Semantics
Repository; adoption of existing standards-based semantics where available; common ontology patterns and archetypes for these
terms. Common approach to ontology standards socialization (namespace sharing).
These separate sessions are open to all (members and non-members).
Meeting Schedule and Dial in details.

Legal Entity Identifier Recommendation
This is the recommendation (and accompanying requirements document) to the OFR created by a coalition of global financial institutions and trade associations on LEI. The recommendation is for ISO 17442 as the new standard, SWIFT as the registration authority and DTCC/Avox as the facilities manager. The coalition strongly recommends coordination with the Association of National Numbering Agencies on QA process and implementation.
