StratML as a semantic web technology
Each node in this graph is a StratML <Objective> element carrying a UUID <Identifier> — the functional equivalent of an RDF URI. Each edge is a <Relationship> element whose RelationshipType attribute maps to SKOS predicates: Broader_Than → skos:broader, Peer_To → skos:related, Narrower_Than → skos:narrower. The <ReferentIdentifier> child element points to the target Objective's UUID — making every edge a machine-readable RDF triple encoded in XML.
The 7,000+ StratML documents at stratml.us collectively form a distributed knowledge graph of organizational strategies, queryable via BaseX at search.aboutthem.info. For W3C groups, StratML documents not just what each group does but how its mission relates to others — enabling automated discovery of collaboration opportunities across the open web.
Relationships were surfaced by Gemini AI using the stratml_W3C_Relationships.xsl stylesheet and reviewed editorially. The underlying Part 2 XML is fully machine-readable and queryable.
About this visualization
Nodes are W3C Community and Business Groups colored by their strategic goal category. Node size reflects the number of documented relationships (degree). Hub nodes — Schema.org (degree 19), Web of Things (11), AI Knowledge Representation (10) — are labeled permanently; hover any node to see its name and click to highlight its connections.
Edge direction follows the ISO 17469-2 controlled vocabulary. Broader than (purple, directed): the source concept is foundational or broader in scope than the target. Narrower than (gray, directed): the source is more specific or dependent. Peer to (dashed): the groups are at the same level or mutually related. Toggle goals or relationship types using the controls above to focus on any subset.
This graph was compiled by Owen Ambur, Chair of the ISO StratML Committee (ISO 17469), using Claude.ai and Gemini. Feedback welcome.
