SIG Mobility & Digital Credentials
Duration: Half Day (pm)
Speakers: Colin Tück, Lluís Alfons Ariño
How to create Credentials that are actually understood: Semantic Standardisation – a way to improve interoperability
Purpose
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.
Programme
Two or three contributors with actual experience in projects that address semantic interoperability will introduce the topic from their perspective. Confirmed are Colin Tück (KIC) bringing his experience from the QualityLink project (https://quality-link.eu/), and Lluís Alfons Ariño bringing the perspective from the DC4EU large scale pilot (https://www.dc4eu.eu/).
After the introduction participants are invited to bring their perspectives to the table in an interactive workshop format. We will use the EDEH interoperability framework as a background.
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
