The https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FBC/FunctionalEntities/BusinessRegistries.rdf version of this ontology was modified per FIBO 2.0 RFC primarily to loosen the constraints on address properties and better support standards including ISO 9362 (BIC codes), ISO 13616 (IBAN and BBAN codes), and ISO 17442 (the GLIEF LEI standard).
The https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FBC/FunctionalEntities/BusinessRegistries.rdf version of this ontology was modified per the issue resolutions identified in the FIBO FBC 1.1 RTF report.
The https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FBC/FunctionalEntities/BusinessRegistries.rdf version of this ontology was modified to generalize certain unions where they were no longer required, use the composite date datatype where appropriate, add individuals for entity expiration reason and validation level to better align with the GLEIF LEI data, and move international registration authorities, such as SWIFT, to a separate ontology for better modularity.
The https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FBC/FunctionalEntities/BusinessRegistries.rdf version of this ontology was revised to eliminate circular and ambiguous definitions.
The https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FBC/FunctionalEntities/BusinessRegistries.rdf version of this ontology was revised to eliminate deprecated elements.
The https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FBC/FunctionalEntities/BusinessRegistries.rdf version of this ontology was revised to eliminate duplication with concepts in LCC, simplify addresses, normalize definitions to be ISO 704 compliant, and rationalize address properties.
The https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FBC/FunctionalEntities/BusinessRegistries.rdf version of this ontology was revised to replace hasDefinition with isDefinedIn to clarify intent.
The https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FBC/FunctionalEntities/BusinessRegistries.rdf version of this ontology was revised to replace uses of hasTag in Relations with hasTag from LCC, as the more complex union of datatypes in the Relations concept is not needed here.

QName: fibo-fbc-fct-breg:EntityValidationLevelPartiallyCorroborated
Based on the validation procedures in use by the LOU responsible for the record, the information supplied by the registrant can be partially corroborated by public authoritative sources, while some of the record is dependent upon the information that the registrant submitted, either due to conflicts with authoritative information, or due to data unavailability.

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is the standard used by Federal statistical agencies in classifying business establishments for the purpose of collecting, analyzing, and publishing statistical data related to the U.S. business economy. NAICS was developed under the auspices of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and adopted in 1997 to replace the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system. It was developed jointly by the U.S. Economic Classification Policy Committee (ECPC), Statistics Canada and Mexico's Instituto Nacional Estadistica y Geografia, to allow for a high level of comparability in business statistics among the North American countries.

QName: fibo-fbc-fct-breg:StandardIndustrialClassificationCode
standard industrial classification scheme
QName: fibo-fbc-fct-breg:StandardIndustrialClassificationScheme
the scheme defining the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Code List
Standard Industrial Classifications are four-digit codes that categorize companies by the type of business activities they engage in. These codes were created by the U.S. government in 1937 to facilitate analysis of economic activity across government agencies and within industries. They were mostly replaced in 1997 by a new system of six-digit codes called the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). The new codes were adopted in part to standardize industry data collection and analysis in between Canada, the United States and Mexico which had entered into the North American Free Trade Agreement. Note that certain organizations, such as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) still use SIC codes for some purposes.
