About This Document

This reference describes the XML Schema Definition (XSD) that supports exchanging Fact-Based Models (FBM) between tools. The schema captures modelling approaches such as Object-Role Modeling (ORM) and related identification structures highlighted throughout the document.

Fact-Based Models that conform to the schema are distributed using the .fbm file extension.

Additional XML artefacts that comply with the same schema may also be delivered with a generic .xml extension when required.

The source XSD document identifies XSD version V1.2 for the .fbm exchange format, with this documentation repository providing revisions as they are made.
