Coordination Groups
Principles for assigning components
- Identify the explicit meaning of the criterion: what is written in the criterion and what can be understood without reference to external factors, over-interpreting or attaching one’s own cultural references
- Identify the purpose of the criterion: the main factor referred to by the criterion in terms of well-being or ill-being (e.g. consequence, objective sought, etc.)
- Identify the stakeholders: who carries out the action and who or what does it address (the person expressing the criterion, other people, institutions, society in general)
- Role of the question: Consider the question to which the criterion is a response in order to understand the meaning of the criterion (especially for the third question)
- Assignment to a family: In accordance with these four elements and the table below, first identify the family which corresponds most closely to the criterion
- Assignment to the most general component: If there is doubt about the explicit meaning of the criterion, assign a more general component
