Got it, but where is "here"?
We expect to vote through the Foundations OWL at the upcoming OMG meeting a couple of weeks from now - this will then be available to everyone. We're still putting some final tweaks onto it so it's best to wait until then. the Business Entities stuff will be put forward as a draft at the same time, but not yet released to the wider world.We have made quite a few changes since the earlier drafts, mainly to introduce a number of property restrictions where we previously had no restrictions and a deep hierarchy of object properties. It was felt by the OWL experts that configuring object properties in the way I had done, while possibly OK for a conceptual ontology, might cause confusion among OWL technology implementers, who would have expected to see restrictions used. So we've made quite a few changes of that nature, and are looking to re-validate the business implications of some of those changes before putting it out.I would have liked to get OWL out to the wider world more quickly than this, but that's the process we're following.
Will do. Would like to have got something out there sooner, as there's a lot of material we've completed at the business level that still needs to go through this process and then needs to be subjected to another round of business subject matter expert reviews to make sure we're all happy with it.Mike

Okay, just keep us posted :-)

Here's a page that enables easy exploration of the OMG's Financial Industry Business Ontology (FIBO) [1].
A you might notice, the ontology is missing relations that associate the ontology (itself) with the entity and relation types it describes, hence the looping you might experience as you follow the owl:imports relation objects. This problem can be resolved by introducing rdfs:isDefinedBy, wdrs:describedby, and xhv:describes relations.
I'll prepare an update to demonstrate my point, when I have a moment. I've already crafted the SPARQL statements for enhancing the data, I just need to apply them to the URIBurner instance.
