WHAT IS THE COMMON DOMAIN MODEL (CDM)


The Common Domain Model (CDM) is a standardized, machine-readable, and machine-executable model that represents financial products, trades in those products, and the lifecycle events of those trades. The standard is developed through the Community Specification open governance process, and underlying code assets are released under the Community Specification License 1.0.
