9. Methodology for Creation of Terms Create a standard term for every atomic data element Remove the context from the term Derived from common functional name Do not include elements that describe the content of other elements (e.g. EDI qualifiers) Allow developers to add qualifiers for term clarity Include required metadata for each element Use agreed upon construct and rules (i.e. CamelCase, maximum length of 30) Route through approval process 9

13. USTRANSCOM Common Vocabulary The Common Vocabulary is the by- product of: –Documenting data assets to include the various data element names (synonyms) –Documenting the relationships between all of these data elements The Common Vocabulary can be utilized as a mediation service to translate between names/terms 13
