This ontology defines equity-related concepts for use in defining other FIBO ontology elements. These are based on basic accounting principles as they relate to equity, debt, assets and liabilities of a firm. Equity forms the basis for ownership of certain forms of corporate body.
Vendored because selected FIBO legal-entity imports require this FIBO dependency for local import closure.
This ontology defines currency and monetary amount related concepts for use in defining other FIBO ontology elements. There are two distinct kinds of concepts that correspond to money and amounts: a concrete, actual amount of money, and the monetary measure of something denominated in some currency. These are dimensionally the same but whereas 'money amount' is defined as an amount of money, 'monetary amount' is an abstract monetary measure. The definition of currency provided herein is compliant with the definitions given in ISO 4217. ISO 4217 provides universally applicable coded representations of names of currencies and funds, used internationally for financial transaction support. The ontology has been partitioned into 2 parts: (1) the essential concept system describing the standard (this module), and (2) ISO4217-1-CurrencyCodes, which contains all of the individuals specified in ISO 4217.
This ontology defines concepts for people and human related terms, for use in other FIBO ontology elements. People as defined here are human persons only. This ontology sets out a number of basic properties which are held by people or are definitive of a small number of specific types of people such as minors or adults. Primary use cases for determining the set of personal information definitions included are the common elements required to (1) open a bank account, (2) identify a sophisticated investor, and (3) establish foreign account ownership for money laundering purposes.
This ontology defines the concept of an agreement and roles that parties to an agreement play in the context of financial agreements. Agreements represent an understanding between parties, whereas contracts typically formalize such agreements.
This ontology defines the concept of contract and roles that parties to contract play in the context of financial agreements. Coverage includes written contracts which are the concrete evidence of agreements between parties and verbal contracts. Contracts are further broken down into bilateral and transferable contracts, the latter being the basis for most financial instruments, and basic properties of contracts, such as terms and conditions, are also covered.
This ontology defines abstract structural concepts, extending the Commons concept of an arrangement to represent schemes.
This ontology defines abstract concepts for representation of industry classification schemes.
This ontology defines abstract concepts for representation documents for use in other FIBO ontology elements.
This ontology defines abstract concepts for representation of indices and indexing schemes, as well as reusable identifiers, for reuse in other ontologies.
This ontology provides definitions of date and schedule concepts for use in other FIBO ontologies.
This ontology extends definitions of date and schedule concepts from the FinancialDates ontology with concepts defining occurrences (i.e., event-related concepts) for use in other FIBO ontologies.
This ontology defines concepts including goal, objective, program, and strategy. Objectives are defined as being distinct from goals, in that they constitute time limited and measurable targets which some entity may seek to attain in pursuit of its goals.
This ontology defines high-level legal concepts related to legal responsibilities. The ontology defines things which are conferred upon some entity by some legal instrument, and elaborates this into a number of specific capacities, responsibilities and powers, each of which forms the basis for many of the concepts used elsewhere in FIBO in defining legal personhood, executive powers and the like.
This ontology defines high-level legal concepts for use in other FIBO ontology elements. These concepts include law and constitution, both of which are framed at a more abstract level than national or state laws and constitutions, so that law forms the basis both for statutes and for company by-laws, and constitution forms the basis both for national or state constitutions and for instruments which are constitutive of incorporated legal entities. This ontology also defines some of the variants of these such as governmental constitutions and ordinances. Court of Law is also defined here.
This ontology defines high-level, ownership-related concepts, including owner, asset and ownership along with relationships between them.
This ontology extends the Commons Parties and Situations ontology with identifiers for party roles and very general tax identifiers.
This ontology provides high level definitions for addresses and address components including elements that are common to addressing standards.
This ontology defines a set of general purpose relations for use in other FIBO ontology elements. These include a number of properties required for reuse across the foundations and business entities models.
This ontology provides mathematical abstractions for use in other ontologies, including for example the basic components of formulae, parameters and values.
This vocabulary provides a set of metadata annotations for use in describing FIBO ontology elements. The annotations extend properties defined in the OMG's Commons Ontology Library (Commons) Annotation Vocabulary, in the Dublin Core Metadata Terms Vocabulary and in the W3C Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS) Vocabulary, and have been customized to suit the FIBO specification development process. Note that any of the original properties provided in Dublin Core and SKOS can be used in addition to the terms provided herein. However, any Dublin Core terms that are not explicitly defined as OWL annotation properties in this ontology or in any of its imports must be so declared in the ontologies that use them.
The Annotation Vocabulary provides commonly used annotation properties for documentation to facilitate understanding. Note that this ontology defines a property hierarchy for a number of external annotations, including SKOS and Dublin Core annotations, to show how they relate to one another, although the semantics of OWL ignore this. Doing so emphasizes how the annotations are intended to be used and assists with integration in cases where different ontologies use different annotations and/or approaches.
Vendored because selected FIBO legal-entity imports require this OMG Commons dependency for local import closure.
Commons Business Authorizations Ontology
This ontology defines the concept of authorization from a business perspective, rather than security or access control viewpoint, as a situation or state of affairs, including related parties. It was derived from the FIBO Executives ontology and simplified/adapted for broader use.
This ontology defines abstract concepts for representation of classification schemes that enable the classification of arbitrary concepts into hierarchies (or partial orders) for use in many other ontologies, derived in part from the patterns defined in ISO 1087-1 for terminology work and ISO 11179-3, Metadata Registries.
This ontology defines commonly used concepts for describing codes, including standardized codes such as ISO language, country, and other code sets, the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes, and custom code sets that many organizations develop for various purposes, derived from the patterns specified in ISO 11179-3, Metadata Registries.
The collections ontology defines commonly used concepts for arrangements and schemes for organizing information and collections of things, such as structured collections that may be organized according to some scheme, and related very high level mereology relations to enable association of things with such collections and schemes.
The contextual designators ontology extends the designators ontology to incorporate applicable dates and times and facilitate the inclusion of other context that is commonly needed, derived in part from the patterns defined in ISO 11179-3, Metadata Registries.
The contextual identifiers ontology defines commonly used concepts for describing more complex identifiers, including those that apply for some period of time as well as those that are structured and include other codes or identifiers.
The dates and times ontology defines commonly used temporal concepts that cover those most frequently needed across domains, with a focus on terminology that is used in business applications. It is designed to be mappable to other date and time ontologies and specifications, such as the W3C Time Ontology in OWL (available at https://www.w3.org/TR/owl-time/), certain temporal elements in BFO 2020 (see https://basic-formal-ontology.org/bfo-2020.html), time concepts defined in schema.org, and the Object Management Group's Date Time Vocabulary (DTV) specification (available at https://www.omg.org/spec/DTV/), without the corresponding overhead or in some cases, issues. The concepts were originally derived from a number of date and time standards including ISO 8601:2004 Representation of Dates and Times. The ontology itself was derived from the Financial Industry Business Ontology (FIBO) Financial Dates ontology, with minor revisions to better reflect requirements for mapping to other ontologies.
The designators ontology defines commonly used concepts for naming, derived in part from the patterns defined in ISO 1087 for terminology work and ISO 11179-3, Metadata Registries. It includes several very high level semiotic relationships, including defines, describes, and denotes for associating designators with the concepts they reference.
This ontology defines high-level concepts for representation of documents, including legal documents and records, such as a transaction record, purchase history, or payment history. It is deliberately lightweight in order to accommodate mappings to other document and bibliographic ontologies.
The identifiers ontology defines commonly used concepts for describing identifiers and the identification schemes that define them, such as various national and international identifiers for legal entities, financial instruments, and the like, derived from the patterns specified in ISO 11179-3, Metadata Registries.
This ontology provides a very high level definition of geographic region and geopolitical entity related concepts, including, but not limited to, countries, sub-country regions such as states and provinces, and municipalities. The representation was derived from a combination of ISO 3166, the UN M49 Region codes, Geonames, the SWIFT registry, the UN FAO and CIA World Factbook, and other sources. It aims to provide a systematic description of the vocabulary used for country and geopolitical entity representation, useful for mapping among the various names and codes for countries and their subdivisions used world-wide, including but not limited to FIPA and International Olympics codes for countries, (based strictly on requirements for business applications, not broader geographic or political uses).The terms defined herein terms are reused by the OMG's LCC controlled vocabulary representing ISO 3166 country and country subdivision codes, and may be mapped to other standards and de facto standards such as those mentioned.
This ontology defines high-level concepts for organizations, legal entities, and related terms, such as organization membership. It is purposefully underspecified to facilitate mapping to specific organization ontologies, such as the W3C organization ontology, organization from a business (BMM or BPMN) perspective, organization from a records management (RMS) and provenance (PPMN) perspective, and to other models describing organizations.
This ontology defines the high-level concepts of parties and the roles they play in various situations.
This ontology provides a core set of concepts for quantities, units, systems of quantities, and systems of units. The most widely accepted, scrutinized, and globally used system of quantities and system of units are the International System of Quantities (ISQ) and the International System of Units (SI). They are formally standardized through [ISO 31] and [IEC 60027]. The harmonization of these two sets of standards into one new set [ISO/IEC 80000] has been published by ISO in 2009 and 2010. This ontology is based on the Object Management Group (OMG)'s SysML standard and on ISO/IEC 80000-1:2009, which refers normatively to the ISO/IEC Guide 99:2007. It is compatible with and can be mapped directly to the OMG Date Time Vocabulary (DTV) Quantities Ontology, the de-facto QUDT ontology representing Units of Measure, Quantity Kinds, Dimensions and Data Types (see http://www.qudt.org/), the Units of Measurement Ontology (UO) ontology available from the BioPortal (https://bioportal.bioontology.org/ontologies/UO) and others, as well as the quantities and units library in the SysML specification.
This ontology defines general purpose concepts for representation of regulatory agencies, also known as regulatory authorities or regulators. It was derived from the FIBO Regulatory Agencies, Legal Capacity, and Jurisdictions ontologies and simplified/adapted for broader use.
This ontology defines the high-level things defining roles, which enable specification of the various participants in something, and the notion of a composition, i.e., relating something that is a specification for a 'whole', such as a product or recipe, to its ingredients or constituents, potentially with respect to some context-specific requirements.
This ontology provides high-level concepts related to facilities, both virtual and physical, including sites that provide the context for various facilities.
The text datatype ontology defines a custom datatype that combines language tagged and plain string values. This text datatype is useful in cases where it is not clear whether string values will be tagged or not, but where it is anticipated that multilingual strings might be appropriate.
