[+]
Active Agenda is, technically speaking, a large relational database with a web interface that allows users to add and modify data. Each table in the database is represented by a "module", which serves as the metaphor for all meta-data that is associated with that table.
This meta-data is defined in an XML Module Definition for each module (see Module Definitions list below), consolidating data table structure together with relationships with other tables, user interface "screens" and form fields. Rather than turning the XML meta-data into a running application "on the fly", Active Agenda uses a "generator" that translates the XML structure into generated files that contain the module-specific logic.
The generator will typically hard-code data from the XML definitions into the generated files, which will then remain static unless the XML definition changes.
The following individuals contribute to the core project and its underlying technology. Please feel free to contact us if you would like to assist us with the core technology used to generate Active Agenda.

Module Definitions
[+]
One of Active Agenda's greatest strengths is our development framework. Our development framework allows us to quickly add new modules to satisfy your unique requirements and easily support extensions to existing modules. If you don't see a module you need, or you just need several new fields, please don't hesitate to contact us.
We are always looking for help with creating new modules and leading module refinement. Please feel free to contact us if you would like to lead a module development team. Those leading a module team are also responsible for maintaining the respective module's support documentation article. We are happy to link back to an individual or organization sponsoring your work.

[+]
In Active Agenda, a Partnership is a written program. Risk management and compliance requires strong partnerships between internal and external stakeholders. That's why we refer to written programs as Partnerships.
Our partnerships describe how an organization satisfies its: customer, supplier, governmental, accrediting body, standards provider, and/or internal policy requirements. We help organizations automate the data tracking, reporting, and form completion tasks found in a typical policy or procedure manual. We turn these static documents into dynamic, data driven, measurable systems.
Please feel free to contact us if you would like to focus our attention on a particular partnership or if you would like to volunteer to lead a partnership content development team.
