Data is the life blood of many industries but it plays a vital role in the financial services and particularly capital markets world. As the industry drastically accelerates the pace of open collaboration, we will discuss how the industry is embracing open data collaboration to drive true industry wide standardisation.
Not only we’ll hear it from Goldman Sachs, maintainer of the Legend open source data modeling platform, but we’ll hear why established global industry bodies like ICMA, ISDA and ISLA have decided to open source their Common Domain Model, the global standard representing financial products and their lifecycle, into FINOS, the Fintech Open Source Foundation, the Linux Foundation project building open collaboration bridges across Wall Street, the City of London and the global financial industry.
