II. Use Case Summary

Goal

There is no single publicly available model for instrument reference data for market traded instruments. FIBO should provide the core content for such a model, which is needed across the industry, including EDMC member institutions. While there are a number of proprietary models, such as those of data vendors, there is no general consensus. 

This use case is focused on a fictitious offering of securities instrument data to users by an exchange, to establish a constrained baseline for the overarching use case defined in SEC-01.

Requirements

State any requirement(s) specific to this use case, including any capabilities from a business architecture or process model that the use case supports, any metrics or other reporting requirements, etc., including any reference identifier for the requirement(s), as applicable

Scope

The use case is designed to specify the essential information that is most commonly used for Specify the essential securities instrument information needed for core securities master data management, specifically the subset that an exchange might publish.

Scope

In order to constrain the scope further, in this use case we will focus on (1) equities and (2) bonds.

Priority

This is high priority in order to (1) provide a much-needed reference model for securities master data management and (2) demonstrate how to use an ontology successfully and in a cost-effective way as the basis for other work inside an institution.

StakeholdersIdentify all known stakeholders for the use case

Primary stakeholders include any exchange that might publish instrument related information, consumers of that information including traders, front and back office personnel as well as compliance officers at institutions whose portfolios include this information, other individual investors interested in the information, and various systems supporting all of the above.

Description

There are a number of organizations that publish certain master data elements that we can use as the basis for coming up with a composite view, including OpenFIGI, the DTCC Security Master Data File (including intra-day), various exchanges including the NYSE and Nasdaq, and possibly CME.  In FBC, we have individuals for some of the large bank holding companies such as Wells Fargo, which we can use as the basis for examples of equity instruments, and for bonds we have jurisdictions in BE and some government entities in FBC that we can use as the basis for example treasuries or muni bonds.The purpose of the use case is to show how one might leverage data coming from multiple sources to manage security master data using FIBO.

There are several JIRA issues around accomplishing this goal.  SEC-74, for example, is about representing a share of stock as listed in a specific exchange.  That particular issue represents a subset of what we want to do in this use case, but is a starting point.
