Should Your COI Use Cursor on Target?

Abstract

This approach calls for establishing a small shared vocabulary that covers only the data to be exchanged in the present spiral, thereby minimizing the total amount of vocabulary learning required. The participants focus on the intersection of their information needs, not the union of those needs.1 This loose-coupler shared vocabulary does not have to be adopted internally by the participating applications; it is instead used as an intermediate exchange format, or as a reference schema for data mediation. Most new COIs are expected to produce useful results in a very short time, typically nine to twelve months. They do not have time to develop a large comprehensive vocabulary. They may not even have time to learn an existing vocabulary if it is too large and cannot easily be broken into subsets. Therefore, your COI should seriously consider following the CoT approach, even if you eventually decide not to use the CoT schema.
