Thoughts on IEEE ILR

Phil Barker, May 17, 2021

The  IEEE P1484.2 Integrated Learner Records (ILR) working group makes recommendations on how to describe what someone has achieved. In this way it's more than an activity record but less than a credential. As I read this post (your interpretation may vary) I see two major sets of issues: one regarding the use of linked data (such as RDF or JSON-LD) which may not translate well to stand-alone context-free statements; and the other regarding the use of vendor-specific or application-specific technologies such as the W3C's Verifiable Credentials (see also the W3C vc-ed task force page or the Credential Engine's Credential Transparency Description Language (CTDL)).
