A visual guide to FIB-DM Education materials and tools. The info cards illustrate a single education unit, the intended audience, and the available formats: video, PowerPoint, article, or whitepaper.

Semantics for Managers, Project Architects, and Mid- and Large-size Banks are also FIB-DM pre-sales presentations. However, I cover them in the training course because they introduce the FIBO model to a non-technical executive audience. FIB-DM asset owners customize the PowerPoints for internal buy-in meetings.
Semantics for Finance Users is a deep dive for Business and mandatory for ontologists and data architects to understand the FIBO/FIB-DM design.
Data Architects and Ontologists proceed to FIB-DM details, scoping a subset model from FIB-DM, and the Navigator analysis MS Excel workbook.
The articles, in a dotted line, supplement the training class. Ontology vs. Data Model: Hierarchy and Object Properties are data model Associative Entities (not mere relationships!). In-depth studies of ontology-to-data model alignment and mapping.

Note that the PowerPoints reflect the latest 2026 FIBO Loans and OMG Commons releases, while I haven’t re-recorded all videos on YouTube yet.
