The folder contains two productivity tools for data architects/modelers: an MS Visio file and an Excel workbook.
20 Concepts MS Visio
The Semantics for Finance Users class explains the fundamental FIBO/FIB-DM concepts in detail, and Scoping our first Data Model applies the FIB Concept Maps.
The MS Visio file is for Data Architects and Business Analysts who want to create their own Concept maps.
It contains the Visio stencils for the 20 concepts, all concept maps featured in FIB-DM education materials, and the Concept Association diagrams.
FIBO/FIB-DM Navigator
The MS Excel workbook is a powerful tool for data architects, business users, and ontologists to analyze hierarchies and connections in the model. It accelerates scoping project models from industry standards.
In data modeler lingo, the term “island” refers to an entity with no relationships to the rest of the model. While FIBO and, by extension, FIB-DM are integrated and consistent designs (without islands), finding paths between two entities via relationships and Associative Entities remains a major challenge, even for FIBO experts.
The Navigator class explains the 23 MS-Excel worksheets populated with metadata sets for Entities, subtype hierarchies, and Associative Entities. Attendees learn how to search for direct and indirect (with an intermediate entity) associations and interpret and filter the results.
