Financial Products Markup Language

From Wikipedia:

FpML (Financial products Markup Language) is a business information exchange standard based on Extensible Markup Language (XML) that enables business-to-business over-the-counter (OTC) financial derivative transactions online by following W3C standards.

The standard is managed by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) on behalf of a community of investment banks that make up the OTC derivatives industry. All categories of privately negotiated derivatives will eventually be included within the standard.

FpML is distinct from similar financial standards such as SWIFT and FIX because it does not specify a network or transport mechanism.

• Standard home — fpml.org, maintained by ISDA.
• In this repo — vendored under external/fpml/: the version 5.13 XSD schemas, split by view (confirmation/, reporting/, legal/, recordkeeping/, pretrade/, transparency/ — each with its own business-processes/, products/, and validation/ subtrees plus a changes.pdf), and the codelist/ directory of OASIS Genericode XML code lists (the coding schemes, business centre scheme, and other enumerations reference data is generated from). This is a reference copy our codegen pipeline reads from, not a fork. methodology.txt documents how the vendored copy is refreshed and how the FpML reference-data SQL is regenerated from it.
