Scoring Event

https://publicschema.org/ScoringEvent

draft

A discrete event in which a scoring rule is applied to inputs about a subject to produce a score or a band. Inputs may be one or more Profile records (a functioning profile scored against a Washington Group cutoff, an anthropometric profile scored against WHO thresholds, a socio-economic profile scored with a PMT formula) or inline data packaged for the scoring run. A scoring event is distinct from the instrument administration that produced its inputs: scoring can be re-done against a different rule without collecting new data.

Event

Properties

Property	Type	Definition
Identifiers from Event	`concept:Identifier`	Identifiers carried by this entity, such as national ID numbers, program IDs, or identifiers asserted by an identity document.
Subject	`concept:Party` includes Person, Group, Household, Family, Farm	The person or group that the profile or scoring event is about. Ranged at Party (not Agent) because Profiles observe receivers: persons and organised groups of persons (Household, Family, Farm). Institutional actors (Organizations) are described through their own Organization records, not as subjects of a Profile.
Rule applied	`concept:ScoringRule`	Reference to the scoring rule that was applied in this scoring event.
Evaluation date	`date`	The date on which a scoring rule was applied to produce a score or band.
Evaluator	`concept:Agent` includes Person, Organization, SoftwareAgent	The agent (field officer or agency) accountable for the scoring. Typically a Person or an Organization. When the computation was executed by software, record the tool separately as software_used; evaluator identifies who is responsible, not what ran the calculation.
Software used	`concept:SoftwareAgent`	The software that performed this step, recorded so the result can be reproduced or audited. Distinct from the accountable evaluator or performer (the person or organisation responsible), which is recorded separately.
Scoring inputs	`concept:Profile` includes SocioEconomicProfile, FunctioningProfile	The profile records that provided the data scored in this scoring event. A PMT scoring event typically takes a SocioEconomicProfile as input; a Washington Group disability identifier takes a FunctioningProfile; a wasting classification takes an anthropometric profile published in a sibling schema (see ADR-011).
Raw score	`decimal`	The numeric score produced by the assessment instrument.
Assessment band	`string`	The ordinal or categorical classification result of an assessment, such as a wealth quintile, poverty band, or other grouping defined by the assessment framework.

Evidence

Present in 3 of 6 mapped delivery systems.

Three of six v1 systems represent a scoring run as a first-class record: OpenSPP (proxy means test evaluation), DCI IBR (assessment event linked to a framework), and FHIR (RiskAssessment). DHIS2, OpenCRVS, and openIMIS do not carry a distinct scoring event in core and rely on computed fields on the subject record. Separating the scoring event from the instrument administration lets a single Profile be re-scored against different rules without new data collection.
