===== Discussion =====

An FX Semantic Assertion represents a semantic conclusion about validated FX transaction information.

The FX Semantic Assertion identifies interpreted meaning, semantic source, semantic version, semantic context, input reference, producing FX logical [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:f:financial_node|Node]], timestamp, and provenance reference. It records how the FX Demo logical profile interprets terms, relationships, classifications, or values in a governed FX context.

The FX Semantic Assertion participates primarily in the FX Logical [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:d:data_plane|Data Plane]]. It also supports the FX Logical [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:a:audit_and_provenance_plane|Audit and Provenance Plane]] because semantic interpretation requires [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:traceability|traceability]] to input information, governed semantic definitions, semantic versions, interpretation context, and [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:e:evidence|evidence]] expectations.

===== Note =====

An FX Semantic Assertion does not prescribe FIBO, SBVR, OWL, RDF, database lookup, rules engine, ontology repository, or semantic technology.

===== Example =====

An FX Semantic Assertion states the interpreted counterparty roles, currency-pair meaning, settlement obligation, or contractual relationship associated with a validated FX transaction.
