Publication of FpML Set of Coding Schemes – Catalog Versions 1.128 and 2.0 Working Draft

The International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (ISDA) has published a new set of FpML Coding Scheme Catalog version 1.128 and re-published the FpML Coding Scheme Catalog versions 2.0-working-draft with the updates below.

ISDA goal and features of the Coding-Scheme-Catalog-2-0:
ISDA is in the process of developing a new format of the coding schemes which include the metadata data (additional information about each value in the scheme). Currently 3 coding schemes in the (basic) and 5 coding schemes in the (enhanced) Set-of-Coding-Schemes (Catalog) -2-0 include additional metadata. The most noticeable example of such is the floating-rate-index coding scheme. The Floating Rate Option metadata provides helpful informational and operational data about FRO in digital, compact, people and machine readable format to make it easier to consume. The ISDA member firms will now able to cross references different types of trading data and minimizes their time and money spend on looking it up. The difference in the benefits of the FRO metadata available in the basic vs enhanced floating-rate-index-3.x of Catalog 2-xis is outlined HERE.
