Here are the points I'd add to this exchange:
1. Presentation/styling is not part of the StratML standard itself.
The focus of the standard is the /substance/ and /structure/ of the
content of strategic and performance plans and reports. It is up to
tool, app, and service developers to leverage the semantics and
structure of the schema to enable discovery and presentation in ways
most useful to their stakeholders.
2. The <PerformanceIndictor> elements of the StratML schema /enable/
the capture and presentation of the kind of performance progress
data you reference in your message. While beauty is in the eye of
the beholder, Chris has demonstrated the basic capability to present
such quantitative performance indicator data in his app. I look
forward to seeing how it presents longer time-series of such data.
It will also be interesting to see how /qualitative/ performance
indicators can most usefully be presented, e.g., by red, yellow,
green markings.
3. The instruction on how to enhance query parsing at
https://www.searchtechnologies.com/search-query-parsing is aimed at
improving full-text query capabilities, which by definition do /not/
take advantage of the structure and semantics of schemas, like the
StratML schemas. Eventually, query services that do so will enable
not merely discovery of entire documents in which queried terms
appear but more explicit reference (direct links) to the elements in
which those terms occur, like this
<https://stratml.us/carmel/iso/part2/AIKRCGforComment.xml#_5d94e454-83e9-11e8-8f10-5ac7e53a5ccc>.
4. I defer to Carl to share the details for our next televideo
conference on Tuesday, May 12, when we will continue fleshing our
our draft plan
<https://www.stratnavapp.com/StratML/Part1/413d648b-bd36-418d-af74-e15b0cd8281d/Styled>
in Chris' StratNavApp.
