UNIversal Financial Industry message scheme

http://www.iso20022.org/

The UNIFI standard provides the financial industry with a common platform for the development of messages in a standardized XML syntax, using:
- a modelling methodology (based on UML) to capture in a syntax-independent way financial business areas, business transactions and associated message flows;
- a set of XML design rules to convert the messages described in UML into XML schemas.

There is two great presentations in the site.
