Business Presentation

An integral part of FIBO as a business conceptual model specification is that it may be presented to and validated by business subject matter experts

Minimum requirements for business view:

• Spreadsheet representation of terms, definitions, synonym, relations
• Boxes and Lines (Visio /whiteboard style)
• Explicable to business with minimal (1 hour) introduction

Presentation Methods

Currently: in EA Tooling (not suitable for a global standard)
Coming soon: Adaptive representation of the content per the above requirements

Current EA Presentation is not ideal.

• It is more technology-neutral than most OWL tools
• Diagrams get very cluttered very quickly during reviews
• Simple diagrams can be extracted as needed but this takes time
• Tool-dependent so not suitable for FIBO standard

Adaptive Interface

Considerable improvement in readability, navigability.

• Requires extensive UI design
• Diagrams (spider style) which can be accessed via the web
• This work is under way
