• Reporting WG (See the Charter)
• Architecture WG (See the Charter)
• Loan WG (See the Charter)

The generator, currently in Beta version, takes FpML credit and rates trades as input, extracts the necessary values from the relevant FpML data fields and generates the ANNA DSB-compliant JSON format which can be used to create or inquire about an ISIN through the DSB. As part of the conversion process the tool automatically derives the ISDA taxonomy based on the trade characteristics. The recording and presentation are now available for viewing:
