In a world where developing education, learning, assessment, credentials, skills and competency management system are more important than ever, finding the best practices and the right schema to guide your system development and integration can be overwhelming. Where do you start? Which standards are the most relevant? How do different standards interact?

That’s where this site comes in.

We’ve developed this platform to help product managers, system integrators, technologists, policy makers, and educators discover and understand the standards that can support building interoperable systems, repositories, and applications. Whether you're designing a credentialing system, integrating learning management platforms, or developing workforce analytics tools, you’ll find valuable insights into the best practices and schemas that shape modern education, skills recognition, and credentialing.

Conversational Interface

One of the biggest challenges in implementing standards is deciphering complex documents and frameworks. Our site leverages Natural Language Processing (NLP) to make this easier. You can ask questions in plain language, and our system will analyze national, international, and de facto standards to provide clear, relevant answers.

How to Use This Website

Getting started is simple. Just select the icon and ask your questions. Our system will provide relevant insights, helping you find the right information quickly and efficiently. For detailed information please refer to the organizations above.

Why This Matters

Standards help create clarity, consistency, and trust in education and workforce development technologies. By making them more accessible, we empower product managers, system integrators, and technologists to build robust, interoperable solutions. Whether you're designing a new management system, evaluating interoperability, or aligning competency data with credentials, our platform is here to support you.

Start exploring today and unlock the standards that can shape your system’s future!
