Represent 'operational' #74
Comments
Hi @pdez90,
@mark-jensen @cmungall @phismith An We could add See @mark-jensen: Could you add the needed terms to our import for processing? Note that a common axiom used as a shortcut between a plan specification and a process (leaving out the plan) is:

Relevant usage: 8.b By 2020, develop and operationalize a global strategy for youth employment and implement the Global Jobs Pact of the International Labour Organization 13.a Implement the commitment undertaken by developed-country parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change to a goal of mobilizing jointly $100 billion annually by 2020 from all sources to address the needs of developing countries in the context of meaningful mitigation actions and transparency on implementation and fully operationalize the Green Climate Fund through its capitalization as soon as possible 17.8 Fully operationalize the technology bank and science, technology and innovation capacity- building mechanism for least developed countries by 2017 and enhance the use of enabling technology, in particular information and communications technology |
Some should already be added. I'll confirm and include the remaining. @pbuttigieg I'll also follow up soon with some comments on top of yours. |

@pdez90 thanks for the material above #74 (comment), but I don't really see a clear definition of operationalisation. The indicators suggest that our definition is not too far off. Mobilisation of funds and use of the Internet suggest that some policy or plan has been concretised and realised. Also, for @pdez90 et al.: What would be the difference between implementation and operationalisation in the SDG lingo?

Yes, knowing this would help. From what I can tell, usage is very similar—tied to realization and execution. But, perhaps a policy/framework/strategy can be implemented but not yet operational? In other words, implement includes the beginning, to develop, and operational means that it is fully implemented and being used. 'operational' is the requested term, but to be clear, we are discussing a class properly labeled And it is assumed ’operationalize’ is being used in the same sense, that of a policy which has been adopted and is being implemented. What does it mean to adopt and implement some policy? And, of course, then what is a policy? It is hard to define a subclass of something without having a sense of what the superclass is. Is a policy the same as a plan specification? Sidestepping the question about what a policy is for the moment, and assuming it is very similar to a plan specification, we can focus on the operational part. For that, I think we need to say more than the policy is concretized and then realized. That's not very informative to non-ontologists. And it misses a key part, the approval/adoption of the policy. Plausibly, adoption is a formal act within an organization that occurs when some authorized high-level managerial group accepts the specific objective and action specifications of a proposed policy and then mandates that it be implemented by whatever group(s) that would be responsible for such things. The varieties of implementation could be very wide-ranging depending on the complexity and scope of the policy. And importantly, I think, all aspects of a policy don't need to be realized in some planned process to be considered operational. Policies for emergency services would be considered operational even though no emergencies are currently happening. For sure some of the specified actions could be ongoing in various planned processes, those related to funding and management, education, equipment maintenance, etc. But many aspects of the policy would only be realized when in fact there was an emergency.

Hi, This is the reply I got vis a vis the question of 'operational' versus Dear Priyanka, The best source of information I can offer is the attached UN-Water My own sense, being an ontological ignorant, is that operationalization My five cents, best wishes, Peter On Wed, Feb 17, 2016 at 8:17 AM, Mark Jensen notifications@github.com

This is a priority terms that needs to be included in the SDGIO
Context:
Refers to policies and procedures: local administrative units with established and operational policies and procedures for participation of local communities in water and sanitation management
Operation also refers to:
Operationalize a global strategy/operationalize the Green Climate Fund/operationalize the technology bank and science, technology and innovation capacity-building mechanism for least developed countries (target 8.b/13.a/17.8)
