Overview
The primary objective of the RIXML Research Standard is to provide extensive capabilities for enhancing any piece of financial research content, in any form or media, with tagging (also called metadata) that allows research consumers to search, sort, commingle, parse, and filter the published research.
The RIXML Research Standard includes both a set of tags and a set of rules to ensure consistent usage of these tags. The RIXML Research Standard contains a large number of tags, enabling extremely detailed tagging of research content. However, very few tags are required, so firms can decide what level of tagging works best for them and for the content of the research items they are describing.
To facilitate adoption of the standard, we have defined a subset of tags, known as RIXML Research Level One, that constitutes the highest-priority tags. This subset can be used for the initial implementation of the standard, or can be used as the long-term implementation.
The RIXML Research Standard is part of the RIXML Standards Suite, which is also includes the RIXML Interactions Standard, the RIXML Analyst Roster Standard, and the RIXML Coverage Standard.
