]> all FND The Foundations (FND) domain includes ontologies that define general purpose concepts required to support other FIBO domains. These include concepts and relationships about people, organizations, places, and most importantly, contracts that are essential to domains such as Business Entities (BE), Financial Business and Commerce (FBC), Indices and Indicators (IND), and Securities (SEC). The scope of the definitions provided in FND is limited to coverage of exactly those concepts needed by other FIBO domain areas. They may be useful for other domains, such as insurance, but are intentionally underspecified to avoid unintended consequences and thus do not provide exhaustive coverage for any concept contained herein. However, Foundations is designed for growth over time. The expectation is that as additional foundational knowledge is needed to define concepts in other FIBO domain areas, additional ontologies and/or concepts will be integrated into Foundations as required. 2020-12-28T18:00:00 https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT 2023-01-20T18:00:00 FIBO FND Domain Financial Industry Business Ontology (FIBO) Foundations (FND) Domain https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ The https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FND/20180801/AllFND.rdf version of this ontology was modified to incorporate the recently released assessments and ratings ontologies. The https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FND/20190601/AllFND.rdf version of this ontology was modified to eliminate the unused legitimate organizations ontology, thereby simplifying the overal organization hierarchy, eliminate duplication with LCC, and merge countries with locations.

The https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FND/20201101/AllFND.rdf version of the ontology was modified to use the Commons Ontology Library (Commons) Annotation Vocabulary rather than the OMG's Specification Metadata vocabulary and to eliminate unnecessary imports statements.

It imports all of the Production (Released) ontologies that comprise the FIBO Foundations (FND) domain, and can be loaded directly in tools such as Protege with the expectation that all of the accompanying content will be loaded.
