Fibo.schema.org v1.0 Proposal

From Financial Industry Business Ontology Community Group

fibo.schema.org v1.0 Proposal

This proposal builds upon the Initial Proposal, which added new types and properties to the core schema.org vocabulary for the support of financial products and services.

It is subject of a Pull Request in the Schemaorg Repository (#1163).

It introduces a first raft of new and modified Types and Properties to support in more detail the requirements for sharing financial products, services and organisations using Schema.org on the Web. This initial (v1.0) proposal has a focus on the area of loans, plus the addition of some more generally useful terms.
