Case Studies

Summary

Accessible write-ups exploring adoption and impact through narrative stories for a general audience.

Description

Case studies give real-world examples of when use of a standard has enabled a particular impact, while giving space for frank discussion of the challenges faced. This helps to set expectations among potential adopters and encourages those currently going through adoption of a standard to be reassured that encountering challenges isn’t exceptional.

Prioritisation Factors

  • Where a standard is more mature and at least one useful real example exists that can be described

  • Where a strong advocacy is required to encourage adoption

  • Where a standard’s value proposition is concerned with impact beyond the use of the data - such as social outcomes

Deprioritisation Factors

  • Where no real stories exist

  • Where the community around a standard already share details with each other
