Example Individuals as of 8/09/2015 --
- The current set of examples is based on the Legal Entities and Functional Entities tabs in the examples spreadsheet, above. It represents a snapshot as of 8/03, and will be revised to incorporate additional individuals over the coming weeks – ExampleIndividuals.rdf (for loading purposes, this should be dropped into FBC/FunctionalEntities)
- Note that the individuals in the examples file have not yet been refactored – will be completed once the jurisdiction-specific ontologies have been updated
- AboutFBC-1.0.rdf – loads all of FND, BE, and FBC (should be at the top level in http://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/FBC, or http://www.omg.org/spec/EDMC-FIBO/FBC/) – includes language, country, and currency code individuals,but needs revision to use the LCC versions, so HermiT may take a few minutes to run (it really does complete, but not quickly), although Pellet classifies it fairly quickly – AboutFBC-1.0.rdf
- AboutFBC-1.0-test.rdf – imports all of FBC, including the new ontologies and test individuals, in addition to the language, country, and currency codes – AboutFBC-1.0-test.rdf

Reasonable EU definitions of markets ("Markets" tab) http://www.linklaters.com/pdfs/mkt/london/MiFID_II_The_new_market_structure_paradigm_Client_Alert.pdf (plus a number of these will end up in the next release of the FpML http://www.fpml.org/coding-scheme/execution-venue-type )
A "regulated market " is defined as a multilateral system operated by and/or managed by a market operator, which brings together or facilitates the bringing together of multiple third-party buying and selling interests in financial instruments – in the system and in accordance with its non-discretionary rules – in a way that results in a contract, in respect of the financial instruments admitted to trading under its rules and/or systems, and which is authorised and functions regularly and in accordance with the provisions of Title III of MiFID II.
A "multilateral trading facility " or "MTF " means a multilateral system, operated by an investment firm or a market operator, which brings together multiple third-party buying and selling interests in financial instruments – in the system and in accordance with non-discretionary rules – in a way that results in a contract in accordance with the provisions of Title II of MiFID II.
New FpML MTF definition - "Registered Multilateral Trading Facility (MiFID & MiFID II) – Pursuant to MiFID II, refers to a multilateral system operated by an investment firm or market operator, which brings together multiple third-party buying and selling interests in financial instruments in the system, in accordance with non-discretionary rules, in a way that results in a contract in accordance with the provisions of Title II of the MiFID II"
An "organised trading facility " or "OTF " means a multilateral system which is not an RM or an MTF and in which multiple third-party buying and selling interests in bonds, structured finance products, emission allowances or derivatives are able to interact in the system in a way that results in a contract in accordance with the provisions of Title II of MiFID II. Unlike RMs and MTFs, operators of OTFs will have discretion as to how to execute orders, subject to pre-transparency and best execution obligations.
ETP (new code) = "Electronic Trading Platform as defined in the Japanese Financial Instruments and Exchange Act."

The FpML roles may also be of use: http://www.fpml.org/coding-scheme/party-role as a reference for aspects of "Financial Intermediary" or "PartyInRole".
A new one will be added of ClearingClient – "An organization that clears trades through a clearing house, via a clearing broker (member of the clearing house) who acts as an agent on its behalf. The term "client" refers to the organization's role in the clearing process in relation to its clearing broker, and not whether it is a price maker or taker in the execution process."
Gareth Isaac
On slide 6 "Definition of Client" (part 2) that seems to define the client to mean it "has a Service Agreement". Guessing we do not "Buy" one of those, so when I get a "Savings Account" do I buy one of those? Simply put I believe the position is that a Client has agreed to use some formal view of a service, and a customer "Buys" a product.
I'm under the assumption that an account is a service and not a Product, if that is the case when (See Slide 10) would an "Account Holder" be a Customer? The reason for linking Account holder to Customer is unclear to me.

Slide 12 - Are we saying a Payment is always a Money Amount? What about payment using Oil, Wheat, Gold, Goats - we should also cover Payment-In-Kind construct(http://www.investopedia.com/terms/p/paymentinkind.asp). That all being said in FpML the Payment is considered monetary (http://www.fpml.org/spec/fpml-5-5-4-tr-1/html/reporting/schemaDocumentation/schemas/fpml-shared-5-5_xsd/complexTypes/Payment.html) , so the current definition as being Monetary is in-line with FpML, but we minimally should have a place holder construct for non-cash payments.

In section 9.3.2, which elaborates the ontology for Financial Services Entities, there appear to be some incorrect classifications in Figure 9.15 ("Definition and Class Hierarchy for Banks").
The Bank for International Settlements ("BIS") and "Central Bank" are listed, along with "Commercial Bank", as sub-classes of "Bank", which is a sub-class of "DepositoryInstitution".
The Bank for International Settlements and Central Banks (presumably meaning institutions of sovereign governments) are not depository institutions – certainly not in the meaning that is most frequently intended for that classification.
The fact that such supranational entities (e.g., BIS) and government institutions are mis-classified (in my opinion) suggests that the Top-Level Financial Services Entities Class Hierarchy ( Figure 9.12 ) is missing the correct higher level classification of these types of financial institutions. The current top-level financial institutions hierarchy in fact caters entirely to classifications of private sector institutions. To stick sovereign and supranational institutions as a leaf under Depository Institutions / Banks is an indication that the top-level hierarchy is missing the appropriate higher-level category.

The Bank for International Settlements should probably be an individual rather than a class – with members including the Bank of Canada, the Federal Reserve, and the European Central Bank – maybe in a new InternationalJurisdiction ontology, but then the question is what should it's parent class be - FinancialInstitution? Central banks, on the other hand, do take deposits, at least from member institutions – maybe not in the classic sense of a commercial bank, but according to my "local SME", member banks do deposit funds with the Fed. I think that makes it a depository institution if you read the definition, which isn't specific with respect to what kinds of deposits are relevant. The definition of "Bank" as it stands may be too narrow, though. So hopefully when we discuss this you can help with a better definition of "Bank", such that CentralBank and CommercialBank can both be children of Bank.
