StratML

In December, we announced the initiation of the StratML project. The committee has held a couple of meetings to work on the schema elements needed for transforming organizational strategic plans into the StratML format. The current focus of the committee is on the validation of the StratML elements. You can review at:

· The names and definitions of the elements in the StratML core outlined in Appendix C of the document available at: StratML Summary and Results White Paper

· The names and definitions of the elements in the StratML performance plans and report framework available at: StratML Performance Plans

Any recommendations to this should be provided as:

Subject: Change definition of ‘goal’

Proposed Change: Change the existing definition of ‘goal’ to ‘the state of affairs that a plan is intended to achieve and that (when achieved) terminates behavior intended to achieve it.”

Subject: Modify ‘objective’ element

Proposed Change: Extend ‘Objective’ element to include the sub-elements ‘Objective Measurement; and ‘Objective Timeframe/Completion’. The proposed definitions for these two new elements are as follows.

Subject: Add new elements for ‘assessment’ to the core schema

Proposed Change: Extend the core schema to include the element ‘Assessment.’ This would include 3 sub-elements, ‘Sequence Indicator’, ‘Assessment Findings Name’, ‘Assessment Findings Description’. The definitions for these three new elements are as follows.
