NEW: EPAM contribution to FINOS - data semantic layer GLUE addresses inter-operation between internal and external parts of the buy-side
John Burton
Dear FINOS Community colleagues,
In May EPAM announced its intention to contribute GLUE into FINOS and open a new opportunity to engage with the Buy Side. I am pleased to confirm that this week we delivered on that promise and have now made the contribution.
For those reading this for the first time I’d just like to explain what GLUE is and the business problem we are aiming to address. GLUE facilitates inter-operation between internal and external parts of the buy-side ecosystem by establishing a common entity model supporting consistent data translation across all consumers.
Delving a little more deeply GLUE is a unified entity and data model serving as a common semantic layer to all components. EPAM GLUE provides the flexibility to model hierarchical data structures as well as the complex legal entity structure that buy-side firms are facing. Concurrently it addresses the problems of data-security, auditability and privacy which minimises integration costs and implementation risks.
Back in May a good overview of GLUE and its background was posted on FINOS community blog which I link to here. https://www.finos.org/blog/epam-contributing-epam-glue-open-source-project
My colleagues in Team EPAM that have been working on this are committed to further evolving and developing GLUE and we are keen to invite anyone else in the community to get involved. We have been very grateful for all the support we have received from FINOS and are excited about the project and working with the community. Please just email me om john_...@epam.com for more information or to discuss any questions.
