CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (PRWEB) June 23, 2015
Cambridge Semantics, the leading provider of smart data solutions driven by Semantic Web technology, today announced that the Enterprise Data Management Council (EDM Council) has partnered with the company to support deployment of the Financial Industry Business Ontology (FIBO) initiative.
Founded by the financial industry in 2005, the EDM Council is a neutral business forum dedicated to elevating the practice of data management as a mandate for efficient business operations. It is developing an industry standard to define financial business terms, FIBO, to simplify the way financial institutions describe complex processes, allowing industry participants and regulators to harmonize reporting, authorize data quality, collect transactions and analyze risks across the global financial system.
Cambridge Semantics, along with industry practitioners, semantic technology experts and information architects, are collaborating to standardize the language used to define and simplify terms associated with financial processes, market data and legal obligations.
Cambridge Semantics will utilize its award-winning Anzo Smart Data Platform to automate deployment of the ontology. Anzo Smart Data Platform helps financial enterprises and others rapidly discover, understand, combine, analyze, link and manage data from diverse sources, both from within and across organizational boundaries.
“We look forward to offering our services and contributing to the development of the FIBO ontology to enhance the efficiency of operations among financial institutions,” said Marty Loughlin, VP Financial Services, Cambridge Semantics. “With the Anzo Smart Data solution, FIBO Content Team members will have the tools they need to access and analyze data quickly and effectively.”
FIBO offers a standard reference model for harmonizing disparate data that can be used for both regulatory reporting and business process automation.
"We are pleased to partner with Cambridge Semantics and use their Anzo platform to deploy FIBO," said Michael Atkin, Managing Director of the EDM Council. "We look forward to our continued collaboration with Cambridge as part of the ongoing FIBO deployment process."
