1.1 General

This part of ISO/IEC 20006 provides an information model for competency proficiency and its level. Moreover, it presents several use cases that can be used by software developers, implementers, and architects of human resources systems and learning systems. These use cases will support management and exchange of competency information within information technology systems used for learning, education, and training.

NOTE This International Standard is based on work completed in ISO/IEC TR 24763.

This International Standard includes the following parts:

• ISO/IEC 20006-1, Information technology for learning, education and training — Information model for competency — Part 1: Competency general framework and information model

• ISO/IEC 20006-2, Information technology for learning, education and training — Information model for competency — Part 2: Proficiency level information model

• ISO/IEC 20006-3, Information technology for learning, education and training — Information model for competency — Part 3: Guidelines for aggregations of competency information and data

This part of ISO/IEC 20006 provides an information model used to express the semantics of competency proficiency and its level and can be used to support the management and exchange of competency information amongst information technology systems for learning, education, and training. This part of ISO/IEC 20006 provides

• information model for expressing semantics of competency proficiency and its levels, and

• use cases used to support the development of the competency proficiency level information model.

ISO/IEC 200006-1 provides a framework, information model and use cases to support the management and exchange of competency information. ISO/IEC 20006-3 provides guidelines regarding the aggregation of competency information and data.

1.2 Exclusions

• adaptability to culture, language, and human functions;

• although intended to support, this part of ISO/IEC 20006 does not replace the requirement for regional, transnational, and international agreements relating to the equivalencies of representations of competency proficiency and its associated levels;

• security;

• authentication;

• privacy;
