How BIAN Plans to Use FIBO

The Banking Industry Architecture Network (BIAN) is developing a common, service-oriented architecture to facilitate interoperability among heterogeneous software components within a bank’s application landscape. BIAN’s approach to standardization is somewhat unusual in that it has focused as its first priority on semantic interoperability and not on defining technical, wire-level interoperability formats. BIAN plans to use FIBO, considering it to be a crucial, complimentary initiative.

This presentation:

• Provides a high-level overview of BIAN’s architecture
• Explains how BIAN wishes to use FIBO in the context of that architecture
• Lays out a set of requirements as to the manner in which FIBO is deployed, in order to satisfy the needs of BIAN’s user community
