Standards on the move? • HR-XML accepted the Qualifier list principle for its 3.0 version.
• We are currently working on the other aspects
• IEEE competency profile to be discussed in March 2009 IEEE meeting in
Washington <takeup by HR-XML, Letsi, IMS, …?
• Global discussion on a Common Conceptual model for Competency Related
Data management
• HR-XML – IMS announcement in IMS conference in Barcelona in May

Reusable Competency Definition (RCD)
• Defines/describes the competency• Not relationships
Competency Profile (CP)
• Profile of person/functions• RCD (URI’s)• Structure (relationships between RCDs)
Competency Profile Node (CPNODE)
• A sub-profile • Qualified– Proficiency level (or fluency)
• May be referenced from other parts of the profile structure, or from outside the profile structure
Evidence Distillation Request (EDR)
• An assessment request– Generic– Target person or group (e.g, ass)– E.g, all new hires need to be assessed on awareness of
best practices for personal security
iCoper Paris WPL
Evidence Record (ER)
• a proof of competency • particular person and particular RCD
Competency (Required Evidence) Record (CRER)
• Set of required evidence records• For a particular RCD or CP of a person/function/…• Evidence of a competency from more than one evidence
records
