Scoring Rule

https://publicschema.org/ScoringRule

draft

A persistent set of rules, formulas, or cutoffs used to turn input data into a score or a band. Scoring rules include proxy means test (PMT) formulas, the Progress out of Poverty Index (PPI), multidimensional poverty indices, Washington Group disability cutoffs (cutoff 3, cutoff 4, domain-specific), and WHO anthropometric band thresholds. Scoring rules are registry entries: they exist independently of any particular administration and can be applied to data collected through different instruments.

Properties

Property Type Definition
Name string
The full display name of the record. Depending on the concept, this is a person's or group's name, or the title of a program, instrument, scoring rule, or software product.
Scoring method string The computational approach used to generate a welfare score from collected data.
Data sources string
The administrative, survey, or collected data sources that feed into the assessment calculation.
Cutoff score decimal The threshold score below or above which an applicant is considered eligible.
Publication URL uri
A canonical URL where the instrument, software agent, or scoring rule is published (typically a documentation page, a source repository, or a PDF hosted by the publisher).

Evidence

Present in 4 of 6 mapped delivery systems.

Four of six v1 systems (DHIS2, FHIR via RiskAssessment reference frameworks, OpenSPP, DCI IBR) carry a concept that plays the ScoringRule role: a persistent methodology definition referenced by per-subject scoring runs. OpenCRVS and openIMIS do not model scoring rules directly, relying on out-of-band documentation. SEMIC CCCEV ReferenceFramework is the broader upstream peer covering any policy or legislation from which requirements derive; our ScoringRule is the narrower subset used for scoring.

Standard Equivalent Match
CCCEV Reference Framework close
SEMIC ReferenceFramework is legislation or policy from which requirements derive; ours is narrower: a scoring methodology (PMT, WG cutoff, growth-standard thresholds)
