1. Description
The aim of this SIG is to increase data portability in Education and HR sectors especially for Employability and Life Long Learning purposes. Its aims are to study use cases, recommendations for new Liberty ID-SIS and cross interoperability with other actors in this field (user communities, specification and standardisation bodies).
2. Scope
This SIG is chartered to:
Become an active public discussion forum for the market development and deployment of new draft ID-SIS profiles relevant for employability and life long learning context such as the HR-ID-SIS draft profile taking into account community needs and existing initiatives (such as European Europass Initiative).
Become an active public discussion forum for studying cross interoperability issues with other related specifications (Dataportability, OpenID, OpenSocial) and driving consensus on common shared data model (such as CV).
Develop a detailed roadmap to be published by the SIG participants on the public wiki that will serve to provide recommended next actions for the technical work required to the current stewards of the proposed new profiles and starting with the HR-ID-SIS draft profile.
To foster long-term adoption of the ID-SIS Specifications especially by creating liaisons with other specifications bodies actives in these fields (AICC, CEN ISSS WS LT, IEEE LTSC, IMS Global, ISO SC36, HR-XML…) in the field of digital identity and social networks (OpenID, Dataportability, OpenSocial) and related projects or working groups (European projects TAS3, Aspect, French Universal CV project, French CV2020 working group…)
