Presentation Summary:

Financial regulations embody many financial terms in a semi-structured format. Narrative in their format, regulations mainly express the obligations, but also permissions and prohibitions that a financial institution needs to consider in complex extended trading situations. For compliance applications, FIBO provides a start but extensions were needed to address the semantic richness of compliance.

Ralph Hodgson is a co-founder and CTO at TopQuadrant, where he combines his expertise in semantic technologies with over 25 years of experience in business application development and deployment, consulting, software development and strategic planning. Prior to co-founding TopQuadrant, Ralph held executive consulting positions at IBM Global Services and was the founder of Interactive Development Environments in the UK, an international CASE tools vendor.
