Business Registries Ontology
type: Ontology
abstract: This ontology extends the Registration Authorities ontology to define specific kinds of registries, such as business entity registries, registries for identifiers and codes of various sorts, and registries for financial institutions and intermediaries based on jurisdiction, who regulates them, and the services they provide.

change note: The https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FBC/FunctionalEntities/BusinessRegistries.rdf version of the ontology was modified to eliminate deprecations that are more than 6 months old.
change note: The https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FBC/FunctionalEntities/BusinessRegistries.rdf version of the ontology was modified to merge details from the old corporations ontology into corporate bodies for consistency and useability (BE-259).
change note: The https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FBC/FunctionalEntities/BusinessRegistries.rdf version of the ontology was modified to replace additional content that is now available in the OMG Commons Ontology Library (Commons) v1.2 (FND-389).
change note: The https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FBC/FunctionalEntities/BusinessRegistries.rdf version of the ontology was modified to replace content that is now available in the OMG Commons Ontology Library (Commons) v1.1 (FND-380).
change note: The https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FBC/FunctionalEntities/BusinessRegistries.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 refine the definitions of certain date properties to allow for broader usage, such as for market-related content.
change note: The https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FBC/FunctionalEntities/BusinessRegistries.rdf version of this ontology was modified per FIBO 2.0 RFC primarily to loosen the constraints on address properties and better support standards including ISO 9362 (BIC codes), ISO 13616 (IBAN and BBAN codes), and ISO 17442 (the GLIEF LEI standard).
change note: The https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FBC/FunctionalEntities/BusinessRegistries.rdf version of this ontology was modified per the issue resolutions identified in the FIBO FBC 1.1 RTF report.
change note: The https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FBC/FunctionalEntities/BusinessRegistries.rdf version of this ontology was modified to generalize certain unions where they were no longer required, use the composite date datatype where appropriate, add individuals for entity expiration reason and validation level to better align with the GLEIF LEI data, and move international registration authorities, such as SWIFT, to a separate ontology for better modularity.
change note: The https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FBC/FunctionalEntities/BusinessRegistries.rdf version of this ontology was modified to use the Commons Ontology Library (Commons) rather than the OMG's Languages, Countries and Codes (LCC) and to eliminate redundancies in FIBO as appropriate.
change note: The https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FBC/FunctionalEntities/BusinessRegistries.rdf version of this ontology was revised to clarify the definition of registry identifier and augment the definitions of certain identifiers, such as an LEI, to make them registry identifiers, as well as to modify the definition of an LOU to be a Registrar rather than RegistrationAuthority, and deprecate the redundant LOU identifier.
change note: The https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FBC/FunctionalEntities/BusinessRegistries.rdf version of this ontology was revised to eliminate circular and ambiguous definitions.
change note: The https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FBC/FunctionalEntities/BusinessRegistries.rdf version of this ontology was revised to eliminate dead links and address text formatting issues uncovered by hygiene testing.
change note: The https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FBC/FunctionalEntities/BusinessRegistries.rdf version of this ontology was revised to eliminate deprecated content.
change note: The https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FBC/FunctionalEntities/BusinessRegistries.rdf version of this ontology was revised to eliminate deprecated elements.
change note: The https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FBC/FunctionalEntities/BusinessRegistries.rdf version of this ontology was revised to eliminate duplication with concepts in LCC, simplify addresses, normalize definitions to be ISO 704 compliant, and rationalize address properties.
change note: The https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FBC/FunctionalEntities/BusinessRegistries.rdf version of this ontology was revised to reflect the move of certain organization-specific concepts from BE to FND.
change note: The https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FBC/FunctionalEntities/BusinessRegistries.rdf version of this ontology was revised to replace hasDefinition with isDefinedIn to clarify intent.
change note: The https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FBC/FunctionalEntities/BusinessRegistries.rdf version of this ontology was revised to replace uses of hasTag in Relations with hasTag from LCC, as the more complex union of datatypes in the Relations concept is not needed here.

NAICS was developed under the auspices of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and adopted in 1997 to replace the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system. It was developed jointly by the U.S. Economic Classification Policy Committee (ECPC), Statistics Canada and Mexico's Instituto Nacional Estadistica y Geografia, to allow for a high level of comparability in business statistics among the North American countries.

  on property: defines
  some values from: standard industrial classification code
definition: the scheme defining the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Code List
explanatory note: Standard Industrial Classifications are four-digit codes that categorize companies by the type of business activities they engage in. These codes were created by the U.S. government in 1937 to facilitate analysis of economic activity across government agencies and within industries. They were mostly replaced in 1997 by a new system of six-digit codes called the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). The new codes were adopted in part to standardize industry data collection and analysis in between Canada, the United States and Mexico which had entered into the North American Free Trade Agreement. Note that certain organizations, such as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) still use SIC codes for some purposes.
