Scope

The FDC3 standard specifies protocols and taxonomies to advance the ability of desktop applications in financial workflows to interoperate in a plug-and-play fashion, without prior bi-lateral agreements.

Financial desktop applications include any app used in common financial workflows:

  • Traditional native applications implemented in C++, .NET, Java, Python, etc.
  • Hybrid web/native applications - stand alone native apps embedding Chromium (e.g. Electron, CEF, NW.js)
  • Desktop web applications - platform based apps extending Chromium (e.g. OpenFin, Finsemble, Glue42)
  • Common desktop applications not specific to finance, but critical to workflows - such as Excel, Outlook, etc.
  • PWAs & Web applications running in a commercial browser

This standards group is focused specifically on the desktop. Activities of the desktop interoperability group do not include:

  • Defining financial objects - where existing standards are well established
  • Interoperability between mobile apps
  • Interoperability via REST or other client to server communication

Note: While these areas are out of scope, compatibility with Mobile and/or REST are still valid points of consideration for the FDC3.

Any changes of Scope are not retroactive.
