How to create Credentials that are actually understood: Semantic Standardisation – a way to improve interoperability
Interoperability is mostly understood in the context of technical systems and standards. To implement interoperability between business processes, also the interoperability of language and terminology comes in play. This semantic interoperability is essential when cooperating at European alliance scale for higher education institutions, and becomes crucial when moving towards a credential ecosystem where parties where parties outside higher education want to use and easily understand educational credentials in their business systems.
Three speakers will introduce how semantics becomes important in their initiatives, ending in two or three challenging questions for the audience. The session will then continue in workshop format.
Expected Outcomes:
- Participants are informed about relevant initiatives.
- Contributors and participants have a common understanding of the semantic challenge
- Attendees have a common idea about how to tackle this challenge.
Target audience:
Information system professionals, Information managers, architects, mobility & credential experts
