Welcome to the Action Methodology
The goal is to help businesses to capture relevant data quickly and easily.
The objective is to create a common "ontology" to provided a universal framework for understanding core process elements.
The Core Ontology includes processes based on requirements that produce actions to generate data.
The decomposition of these 4 elements (processes, requirements, actions and data) is an engineering framework used to define specific services (processes) for a specific industry (requirements) for implementing a common set of actions (procedures) to produce a trackable outcome.
The result of decomposition is a common language used within a common domain.
A common language supports data sharing. This standards approach streamlines data capture and data sharing. Users have the flexibility to plug in, swap out, or merge domain vocabularies without rewriting your core models or application logic.
This is the cornerstone of building truly interoperable, future‑proof systems.
High-level abstractions play a critical role in supporting and integrating different ontologies by establishing foundational frameworks that enable interoperability, consistency, and scalability.
Requirements, why and what, defines a need. Processes provide the how. These are the core elements needed to define any action.
Processes and requirements can be decompose for creating flexibility that supports complexity of implementation.
Processes create actions that produce data. The data produced is evidence of a process. By comparing the data to requirements, one validates the relevance of a process.
The simplicity of the action methodology ensures the high-level ontology remains sound while accommodating diverse domain implementations (supporting different languages).
The AM acts as a backbone for integrating and managing diverse implementations, enabling both broad interoperability and domain-specific needs.
