Methodology for Creation of TermsMethodology 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

USTRANSCOM Common VocabularyUSTRANSCOM 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
