WikiKore®
The world's first open-content, AI-powered ontology for financial services
Built by practitioners and shaped by a global community.
A global standard for financial language
WikiKore addresses a critical gap in global financial services: the lack of a shared technical language. Fragmented and inconsistent terminology creates confusion and risk across the industry. WikiKore creates a common vocabulary and clear definitions that simplify operations, reduce errors and costs, and enable everyone from practitioners to regulators to consumers to understand each other and act with confidence.
Open content
Anyone can contribute. WikiKore is built on the belief that financial language should be shared, transparent, and shaped by the people who use it every day
Real-time
Continuously evolving and self-correcting, powered by global contributors and AI-assisted updates
Curated
Every contribution goes through a rigorous governance process to ensure accuracy, consistency, and reliability
Augmented by AI
AI-driven curation and crowdsourcing keep the ontology relevant
Built for practitioners and consumers alike
Financial language is mostly incomprehensible to consumers. Nearly half of UK customers say they don't understand what their bank tells them. This leaves people vulnerable to misunderstanding and mis-selling, undermining trust in the industry. WikiKore is designed to change that, giving both individuals and enterprises a clear, reliable, and shared understanding of financial language.
Built for enterprise
WikiKore is not just for individuals. Enterprises can integrate the ontology directly into their systems and processes, bringing a shared, standardised financial language into the heart of their operations.
More than a dictionary
WikiKore's ontology goes beyond definitions. It maps the relationships and connections between financial concepts, capturing products, events, processes, decisions, and client needs in a structured, logical framework. The result is a living, machine-interpretable resource that evolves as the industry changes and can be integrated directly into enterprise systems and processes.
WikiKore does not collect individual or transactional data. It works at the level of language and structure, not personal information.

This has been done before
In 1879, James Murray pioneered a crowdsourced approach to building the Oxford English Dictionary, mobilising a global network of contributors to create a shared linguistic resource. His model combined broad participation with rigorous central curation, turning what seemed an impossible task into a globally trusted reference.
WikiKore builds on the same principles. Collective intelligence, transparent collaboration, and structured curation, delivering a modern shared ontology for financial services.
It worked then. It works now.
