Daml templates for external data

[Ianw1]

Are there any existing standards/prebuilt templates for building DAML contracts that refer to “external data”, like published interest rates, financial instrument prices, or should the implementer define their own standard? Thanks.

I am not aware of specific external data referrals however trawl through the Daml Examples, the Finance section in the APPLICATIONS AND LIBRARIES has substantial content.

HI @Ianw1,

Not an expert on the topic, but as @quidagis suggested there are some examples available on daml.com/examples page. There’s a swap example that uses ISDA’s standard for referencing data. Swaps demo uses Reuters as a data publisher.

Thank you @quidagis, @nemanja, we’ll take a look at that.

Hi @Ianw1

Did you find a template or example(s) that offered some base utility?
