Project Milestone

Project Milestone is a CASRAI object template recording a scientific milestone projected to be reached during a research activity.

Project Milestone records a scientific milestone projected to be reached during the course of a research activity, including its own standard identifier, the year and quarter in which it is expected, and its start and end dates.

A brief description and any dependency needed for its completion are also recorded, allowing a research activity’s progress to be tracked within the CASRAI-derived structured object model.
