Debt Diagram explanatory chart
The Finance, Business & Commerce (FBC) Debt package defines supertypes and characteristics for both (fixed income) Securities and for Loans. The FIBO design maximizes reuse and avoids redundancies and inconsistencies.
However, having almost 100 entities, FIBO Debt is quite complex. The FIB-DM diagram convention and style make it easy to understand: Relationships between ochre Base Entities and blue Associative Entities flow parent-to-child, top-to-bottom/left-to-right.

The Credit Agreement entity, the supertype of Debt Instrument and Loan, at the top-left is <<parent>> in association with the credit details. The Data Architect navigates down and to the right to find the Credit Facility and Collateral. Borrower and Lender are subtypes of the OMG Commons Role. More entity clusters define Debt Terms, Payment Schedules, and the Rates. Naturally, the architect finds actual Interest and Amorization at the bottom right of the diagram.
