ISO describes IS0 20022, Universal Financial Industry Message Scheme, as "A single standardisation approach (methodology, process, repository) to be used by all financial standards initiatives."
The web page above also says:
It describes a common platform for the development of messages using:
- a modelling methodology to capture in a syntax-independent way financial business areas, business transactions and associated message flows
- a central dictionary of business items used in financial communications
- a set of XML and ASN.1 design rules to convert the message models into XML or ASN.1 schemas, whenever the use of the ISO 20022 XML or ASN.1-based syntax is preferred
This PowerPoint Introduction to ISO 20022 provides additional information. This is another piece of the computational professional services puzzle!
