Introduction to proposed Message format (domain + presentation hints), allowing to represent common + specialized representation of entities / financial objects

@Former user (Deleted)

  • Great starting point to frame the working group conversation

  • Allows the definition of a "common" standard model (supported by the Foundation / in the Symphony Open Core) and then specialized representations (proprietary/added value) in case a specific app/context is available/supported

Approach to Standards

All

  • General agreement of not trying to reinvent the wheel

  • Use existing standards where available, potentially filling the gaps (defining de facto standard in the Symphony Foundation code)
