]> Objectives Ontology This ontology defines concepts including goal, objective, program, and strategy. Objectives are defined as being distinct from goals, in that they constitute time limited and measurable targets which some entity may seek to attain in pursuit of its goals. https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT The http://www.omg.org/spec/FIBO/Foundations/20130601/GoalsAndObjectives/Objectives.owl version of the ontology was revised in advance of the September 2013 New Brunswick, NJ meeting, as follows: (1) to use slash style URI/IRIss (also called 303 URIs, vs. hash style) as required to support server side processing (2) to use version-independent IRIs for all definitions internally as opposed to version-specific IRIs (3) to change the file suffix from .owl to .rdf to increase usability in RDF tools (4) to use 4-level abbreviations and corresponding namespace prefixes for all FIBO ontologies, reflecting a family/specification/module/ontology structure (5) to incorporate changes to the specification metadata to support documentation at the family, specification, module, and ontology level, similar to the abbreviations (6) to eliminate an unnecessary hasObjectives property and related imports dependencies. The https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FND/GoalsAndObjectives/Objectives.rdf version of the ontology was modified to use the Commons Ontology Library (Commons) Annotation Vocabulary rather than the OMG's Specification Metadata vocabulary and eliminate unnecessary references to LCC. The https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FND/GoalsAndObjectives/Objectives.rdf version of this ontology was modified per the issue resolutions identified in the FIBO FND 1.0 FTF report and in https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FND/1.0/AboutFND-1.0/. The https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FND/GoalsAndObjectives/Objectives.rdf version of this ontology was modified to add the concept of a program, required for IND but also to represent compliance, and other kinds of programs. The https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FND/GoalsAndObjectives/Objectives.rdf version of this ontology was modified to add the property 'has strategy' for use in linking to pricing, quotation, distribution, delivery, and other strategies or methods. The https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FND/GoalsAndObjectives/Objectives.rdf version of this ontology was modified to address hygiene issues with respect to text formatting. The https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FND/GoalsAndObjectives/Objectives.rdf version of this ontology was modified to integrate concepts such as distribution and sales strategy, and to eliminate duplication of concepts in LCC. The https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FND/GoalsAndObjectives/Objectives.rdf version of this ontology was modified to integrate concepts such as investment objective, business objective, strategy, and related properties. The https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FND/GoalsAndObjectives/Objectives.rdf version of this ontology was modified to use the Commons Ontology Library (Commons) rather than the OMG's Languages, Countries and Codes (LCC), eliminating redundancies in FIBO as appropriate.

A company uses strategy and tactics at every level of its operation to achieve its objectives. These define the way a company allocates its resources and the strengths, weaknesses and opportunities it may have. Companies usually do not alter their objectives once they are implemented, unless changes in circumstances arise. Setting a clear course for the organization is key to its success. In general, objectives are more specific and easier to measure than goals. Objectives are basic tools that underlie all planning and strategic activities. They serve as the basis for creating policy and evaluating performance. Some examples of business objectives include minimizing expenses, expanding internationally, or making a profit. business strategy strategy for achieving a specific business goal, objective, solution or outcome distribution strategy strategy for making a product or service available, or for distributing funds, such as in the form of a dividend or coupon financial objective objective that reflects the strategic financial goals and direction of a party within a time frame and available resources goal desired result that a party envisions, plans, and to which it commits, in order to achieve a desired state http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goal Many people endeavor to reach goals within a finite time by setting deadlines. investment objective financial objective used by an investor to determine whether or not a given potential investment is appropriate for themselves or on behalf of another party An investor whose objective is capital growth might choose to invest in more aggressive, growth-oriented mutual funds and/or stocks, over income-generating mutual funds and/or bonds.
