Italian term

Os F or OS f

Italian to English Other Law (general) Italian regional bureaucracy
I have come across this acronym ("Os F", also written "OS f") in some documents concerning universities in the region of Veneto. I have the impression it may mean "Obiettivo strategico di fondo", as it is usually followed by what looks like the goals of the action to be undertaken. Or perhaps "obiettivo specifico", perhaps. It's anyway a goal.

But if my interpretation was correct, I wouldn't understand why they usually write it "Os F" (sometimes "OS f") and not "OSF". Does anybody have any clues?

Here's a link to a document where you can find the acronym: http://bur.regione.veneto.it/BurvServices/Pubblica/Dettaglio...

In my experience... ... documents are often sloppily written, and acronyms inconsistent throughout the same document.

I wouldn't waste too much time trying to understand "why", and concentrate on understanding the acronym, finding a good translation and keeping that consistent in all instances.

It's explained in the first few lines of your first document: 'Priorità 1 - Obiettivo specifico f)'. The 'f' doesn't stand for anything - they just give each goal a letter rather than a number.
