Mira - Will WG look at product (for example data modeling for equity derivative space)?  

Hammad:

  • Rather than look at product in its entirety, look at each segment which will then simplify communication
  • Get key folks together to map out a plan of action.  
  • Dan & Mira to share anyone they already partner with and fold into this WG

Riko

  • Introduced himself works at JPM and quite active on FDC3
  • Interested in exchanging data and governance
  • Where are FO and how do people find and engage with them.
  1. Does FO WG consider themselves only financial or FO in general?
  2. How does Fixed Standards fit into this WG?

  • What is absolute minimum set of requirements (at FINOS) for workflow
  • Format & construct in each of the attributes

Hammad - How is it best for WG members to consume info?

Feedback from group

  1. Version that fits with FDC3 object
  2. Rates object template readily available
  3. Reference implementation? What would template look like?
  4. Per Johan - could be like what W3C has or Javascript school (“try it” functionality)
  5. If someone is using objects (in the wild), give them an example of how we are using it

Hammad - Caution: have layperson’s approach, not exclusively FDC3

Will - Symphony will be joining next session
