The CSA Group (formerly the Canadian Standards Association; CSA) has released for comment the Canadian framework for microcredential meta-data. For no good reason you have to enter your email address in order to access it; there's no other charge. The proposed framework "applies to all entities involved in developing microcredential offerings, issuing microcredentials, and conducting associated management or governance." I don't know whether this is an open standard; David Porter has asked. He also asked whether there's anything new or changed in the CSA proposal "given it largely replicates the 20 data fields developed in the Australian National Microcredentials Framework (2021).  The comment period is open until February 1.
