Home Objectives Register About the Council About the Repository

Welcome to the Semantics Repository Home Page

Beta Release file uploaded

The Repository has been updated to Beta status as of June 21 2010. The Enterprise Architect repository file can be downloaded in the Technical:Downloads section.

Please note that diagrams and tables / spreadsheets have not yet been updated, these will be completed in the coming days.

Goal

The goal of the EDM Councils Semantics Repository is to standardize the terms and definitions of all reference data attributes stored in the master files of financial institutions and passed among supply chain partners. Precise nomenclature translates into a common language between systems and sources, reduces the cost of doing business, and promotes confidence in data among business users. It is at the foundation of effective data management and an essential building block for business process automation.

Review Process

Review meetings are normally held weekly (on Wednesday, 10am Eastern US time) via web conference to work our way through the terms/definitions within the repository, field questions and make adjustments to our conceptual model. If you would like to be included in any or all of these calls please contact cmahoney [at] edmcouncil.org or mbennett [at] edmcouncil.org

Next Review Session

We are taking a short break from our weekly Wednesday SME Review sessions while the Beta materials are completed and uploaded. An email will sent round shortly announcing the schedule for the coming sessions.
