The 'StratML' strategy markup language initiative

  • 1.  The 'StratML' strategy markup language initiative

    Posted 07-15-2008 17:38
    I recently came across a US-Govt-wide initiative to standardize terminology for strategic plans. It appears to have implications not only for Govt agencies but also for organizations who work with Govt. The initiative seems to be driven by the Association for Information and Image Management [AIIM] - see www.aiim.org/standards/.
    The thread that deals specifically with strategic plans is trying to establish a mark-up language 'StratML' to deal with strategic plans - see http://xml.gov/stratml/. I have heard nothing about this initiative through any of the strategic management communities I monitor, and I don't recognise the terminology that is being defined. So I am wondering if anyone from the Academy - specifically the Business Policy and Strategy group - knows anything about StratML. Is anyone in the Academy actively involved, and are any of the professionals in this field having some input to this effort? Does anyone know people in the big strategy consulting firms who may be involved?
