Michael G. Bennett
2018 Joint Ontology Workshops  
This paper describes a number of design techniques employed in the Financial Industry Business Ontology (FIBO) series of standards. These are compared to the notion of a conceptual ontology as a computationally independent artefact. An example is given in the applications of the Interest Rate Swaps (IR Swaps) FIBO ontology, where some ontology elements may be re-used to represent different concepts in different kinds of ontology application. Some proposals are outlined for the use of a
