Introduction When presenting Kenya’s Sessional Paper no. 10 of 1965 to Parliament, the then Minister for Economic Planning and National Development, the late Tom Mboya, in page 25 of the Sessional Paper, observed thus: “We want to grow rapidly, to transform the economy from subsistence to a market economy, to develop our land and introduce modern agricultural methods, to industrialize and to provide more employment opportunities. To do all these things quickly and simultaneously require many more resources than we have or can quickly acquire. We must therefore make choices, in deciding how to use our limited resources”. This plan provides a framework for making choices, in deciding how to use limited standardization resources through prioritization and planning in medium-term perspective (3-year period), the development of those standards that if completed and implemented: . Would have the greatest positive National economic impact in terms of enabling trade and economic development (Strengthen the GDP, move Kenya’s export engines and National Development Priorities), and would likely receive strong industry and business support; [Economic Impact Strategy] . Would have a visible and positive, impact on citizens (Greatest Social good in terms of people’s daily lives); [Social Impact Strategy] . Would likely receive strong support by Industry, business and the public (in line with Kenya’s Constitutional requirement on public participation). [Stakeholder Engagement Strategy] It supports through standardization, the execution of the strategies in KEBS Strategic Plan. The plan will also support sector-specific initiatives outlined in Kenya’s industrial transformation program for 2015-2025, and ultimately turn Kenya into an industrial hub and subsequently provide more jobs and reduction of poverty as envisaged in the Global Sustainable Development Goal on ending poverty (SDG1). In addition, the plan provides a framework for supporting through standardization, Kenya’s Vision 2030 medium term plan goals, African Union Agenda 2063 goals and the Global Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In a regulatory context, execution of this plan will make the job of regulators easier through incorporation of developed Kenya Standards in technical regulation. New growth markets and the new ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management Systems (QMS) — Requirements standard which emphasizes risk based approach in processes create new expectations and opportunities, making it necessary to improve processes. Current Standards Market Access Program (SMAP) between Kenya and European Union, the EAC Common Market Protocol, the Continental Free Trade Area Agreement (CFTA) and WTO/TBT Agreement presents an important need to harmonize the National Standards and progressively adopt the East African, ARSO and International Standards that are based on Economic, Policy and Stakeholder priorities. For the Kenyan Standardization System, this means re-examining National structures and processes and aligning them with global and regional markets requirements. With this National Standardization Plan, Kenyan standardization is responding to the changing situation and new demands of a globalized world. Page 4 of 195 The National Standardization Plan should be understood as a call to action for all stakeholders to contribute to its consistent implementation and ongoing development. KEBS as the National Standards Body in Kenya is strongly committed to take leadership and responsibility in timely implementation of this Plan according to the provisions of the Standards Act, Cap. 496 of the Laws of Kenya. This plan has been prepared by the Task Force on National Standardization Plan following an extensive engagement process with stakeholder and it has been approved by the National Standards Council for implementation during three-year plan period 2016- 2019 (2016/17, 2017/18, 2018/19 financial years). During the development of this document, the following Stakeholders were consulted: . National Technical Committees(TCs); . The private sector (Industry, Business Sectors); . SMEs; . Consumers and Consumer Organizations; . Government Agencies; . Renown Professionals; . Learning & Research institutions; . Non-Governmental Organizations(NGOs); . Business Support Organizations(BSO) and; . Financial Institutions. In this updated second version the following have been included: . Emerging requests from Stakeholders following an annual review of the previous version; . Emerging requests to support KEBS 2022 innovation strategy; . Emerging requests to support climate change mitigation measures in line with KEBS 2022 SDG initiatives. In total the 2050 requests have been prioritized, up from 1710 in the previous edition. The plan includes updates from the revised ISO Draft Manual on Developing National Standardization Strategies. The National Standards Council sincerely thanks stakeholders who sent sector-driven standardization priorities for use in formulating this three-year plan. To keep abreast with technology changes, global dynamics and overriding factors, this three year-plan will be reviewed annually. During the preparation of this plan reference and benchmarking was made to the following publications and information sources: . ISO Draft Manual on Developing National Standardization Strategies, February 2017 . Kenya’s Industrial Transformation program, July 2015 . Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNSB) Statistical abstract, 2015 . Kenya’s Sessional Paper no. 10 of 1965 on African Socialism and its Application to Planning in Kenya . Kenya Vision 2030 Second Medium Term Plan (2013-2017) Acknowledgement is hereby made for information and guidance obtained from these sources. Page 5 of 195 2. Summary on national priorities and expected benefits 2.1. Economic Priorities (Economic Impact Strategy) The development of National Standardization Plan (NSP) is based on the assessment of Kenya’s economic priorities. Exports represent the dynamic part of the economy and contribute to earning valuable foreign currency that is used to buy necessary goods for the country. Important sectors of the economy have been analyzed in this plan based on the following key aspects: a) Percentage contribution to Gross Domestic Product (GDP); and b) Contribution to National Export earnings. Table 1 below has been formed based on the existing statistical data from the Kenya National Bureau of Statics (KNBS). It represents the Kenya’s economic sectors that are ranked by their contributions to GDP. The following ranking criterion based on ISO Manual for Developing National Standardization Strategies was used: Rank 1 >10% of GDP Rank 2 5 - 10% of GDP Rank 3 1 - 5% of GDP Rank 4 0.2 - 1% of GDP Rank 5 < 0.2% of GDP Table 1 — Key Economic Sectors based on Contribution to Kenya’s GDP N° Economic sector Percentage Rank Source and contribution to date of GDP information 1.

  • The ISO 25964 Data Model for the Structure of an Information Retrieval Thesaurus
    Leonard Will - Willpower Information, Enfield, UK The ISO 25964 Data Model for the Structure of an Information Retrieval Thesaurus Abstract International standard ISO 25964-1:2011 – Thesauri for information retrieval, includes a detailed data model for thesaurus structure. It is intended to provide a rigorous presentation of the elements and relationships which will not only clarify and standardise the varying and conflicting interpretations which exist but which can also be implemented consistently in automated systems. It makes a clear distinction between concepts and the terms which are used to label them, and includes other features that may be present in a thesaurus, such as compound equivalence, arrays and node labels, concept groups, notes and version history. Introduction The recently-published international standard, ISO 25964-1:2011 – Thesauri for informa- tion retrieval, presents a data model for thesaurus structure which is more extensive than any published previously. The model is shown in Figure 1, using UML conventions (Object Management Group, 2007). Previous thesaurus standards are summarised by Dextre Clarke and Zeng (2011), so they will not be discussed here other than to note that they did not provide a model for the structure of thesaurus data. The new model is intended to provide a rigorous presentation of the entities and relationships which will not only clarify and standardise the varying and conflicting interpretations which exist but which can also be implemented consistently in automated systems. The SKOS (Simple Knowledge Organization System) format (W3C, 2009) is designed to present KOS data in a format that is suitable for machine inferencing and particularly for use in the Semantic Web.
