1. Introduction back to ToC

FinRegOnt derived from the Hedge Fund Regulation ontology (HFR). The semantic approach to compliance implements a hierarchy of defined classes for filing requirements, exceptions, and classification. For lineage tractability, we want the defined class linked to the actual paragraph of the regulation.  Querying from regulation to implementation shows the classes, where a particular requirement has been implemented.
The regulatory classes for Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and United States Code (USC) are not specific to Alternative Investments, not even specific to finance. All USC and CFR XML can be loaded into the ontology.
Government Publishing office and Office of the Law Revision Council publish XML of the regulations and laws. We import the XML and populate instances for FinRegOnt classes and properties
