cids Ontology

rdfs:commment:: Activity defines the actual “actions” performed by an organization to implement a Service. CIDS’s Activity class is defined to be a subclass of the TOVE Activity, and is extended by including properties for Input, Output and what Service or Activity it is a subActivityOf. An activity’s type is based on its outcome rather than service or input. This allows activities to be classified by the type of change they produce rather by what resources they use (input) or who performs the activity (service). Its properties are: • canProduce: specifies the Outcome that results from performance of the Activity. It is used primarily for representing Impact Chains. • oep:partOf: Identifies the Impact Model it is a component of • hasInput: specifies the Input to the Activity • hasOutput: specifies the Output of the Activity • hasCode: specifies zero or more codes, created by various organizations, to identify a type of Activity, e.g., ICHI – International Classification of Health Interventions activities • act:subActivityOf: specifies the Service or Activity that this Activity is part of

Code

Comment:

CIDS does not define taxonomies of outcomes, stakeholder characteristics, etc., but must allow for the reference to them whether they are part of a standard, an organization vocabulary, etc. Code is used to specify the source, definition and value of outcomes, themes, indicators, and characteristics. It has the following properties: • definedBy: The Organization that defined the code. • hasSpecification: The URI where the definition of the code can be found. • hasIdentifier: The code’s unique identifier. • hasName: A name or title for the code. • hasDescription: A description of the code. • schema:codeValue: The value of the code, if appropriate. • i72:value: Alternative specification of codeValue using the ISO/IEC 21972 Measure.

cids:hasDescription:: Used to reference taxonomies of outcomes, stakeholder characteristics, themes, indicators, etc. Taxonomies can be externally defined, as in the SDGs or IRIS+ Indicators; or they can be internally defined, such as a list of StakeholderCharacteristics. An instance of Code is used to represent a specific code in a codelist by specifying the source codelist, code definition and code identifier.

rdfs:commment:: ImpactRisk “assesses the likelihood that impact will be different than expected, and that the difference will be material from the perspective of people or the planet who experience impact.” Stating the riskiness of the impact is important for interpreting the subsequent results. The Impact Management Project recommends that as part of any impact assessment, the risk of the impact be considered as one of the five dimensions of performance. The following defines the taxonomy of risk and key properties: • forOutcome: Identifies the Outcome the risk is associated with. • hasLikelihood: Identifies the likelihood that the risk will occur. • hasConsequence: Identifies the degree of impact the risk could have. • hasMitigation: A string that specifies a mitigation plan or references a document. • hasIdentifier: A unique identifier for this risk. • hasDescription: A description of this risk.

Comment:

United Nations' "Principles and Recommendations for Population and Housing Censuses, Revision 2", 2008. As in this standard, the Principles define marital status as "the personal status of each individual in relation to the marriage laws or customs of the country" and recommend the following categories: single or never married; married; widowed and not remarried; divorced and not remarried; and, married but separated. Also, the Principles recommend that, where the number of persons whose only or most recent marriage was annulled is insignificant, the individuals in this group should be classified according to their marital status before the (annulled) marriage took place.

Stakeholder

cids:hasDescription:: A stakeholder either benefits from the services of an organization or contributes to them.

cids:hasName:: Stakeholder

rdf:type:: owl:Class

rdfs:commment:: The Stakeholder class is a subclass of an Organization or Person. It identifies what activities they perform using the performs property, where they are located geographically using the i72:located_In property. Some methods for measuring impact, such as a Social Return on Investment, require that Social Purpose Organizations distinguish between the beneficiary and contributing stakeholders. A BeneficiaryStakeholder is a stakeholder that benefits from a logic model’s outcome. A ContributorStakeholder is a stakeholder that contributes input to ensure a service can produce outcomes. These are explicitly defined as separate classes to highlight the fact that a contributor stakeholder is not always the same instance as the beneficiary stakeholder. The distinction is available in the ontology but is not required. Stakeholder contains the following properties: • hasName (title): A title for the stakeholder as a string. • hasDescription: A general description of the stakeholder as a string. • hasCatchmentArea: Specifies the regional span of the stakeholders. • performs: Links to the activities performed by the stakeholder. • i72:located_in: Links to the specific geographic area in which the stakeholder is located. • oep:part of: Links the Impact Model that the stakeholder is being specified for.

Class: cids:StakeholderOutcome

URI: https://ontology.commonapproach.org/cids-2.1#StakeholderOutcome

StakeholderOutcome

Comment:

The StakeholderOutcome specifies for a specific Stakeholder, a more specific outcome, whether the Outcome will have a positive, negative, or neutral affect on the Stakeholder, and the nature of the impact: • hasCode: Associates codes from standard codelists with the StakeholderOutcome. • forStakeholder: Identifies the Stakeholder affected. • forOutcome: Identifies the more general outcome this is part of. • fromPerspectiveOf: Identifies the Stakeholder who is determining the importance of the Impact. • hasImportance: Specifies the nature of the importance. One of {“high importance”, “moderate important”, “neutral”, “unimportant”}. • isUnderserved: A Boolean that denotes if the stakeholder is underserved in relation to their specific outcome. • intendedImpact: Identifies the intended direction of the change – note that ImpactReport captures the actual direction. • hasIndicator: Identifies the set of Indicators the Organization assigns to the Outcome but are specific to this Stakeholder. • hasImpactReport: identifies the set of ImpactReport that report on the results pertaining to each Outcome. • org:hasName: string that is name of the StakeholderOutcome. • org:hasDescription: string that is description of the StakeholderOutcome.

cids:hasDescription:: The outcome for a specific stakeholder, as well as properties of that outcome, such as if the stakeholder is underserved with respect to this outcome. StakeholderOutcome is not an alternative to Outcome; rather it is a specialization of a more general Outcome but for a specific stakeholder.
