Abstract:
Higher Education Institutions (HEI) are part of the Digital Transformation of our societies and a higher level of digitization and automatization is already establishing within the sector. The ICT landscapes, the data models and the processes are highly individual to the HEI and interoperability and linking of data and is a challenge and often creates new digital format discontinuities. This contribution analyses the support level of recent semantic models, namely the European Learning Model and the Educational Verifiable Credentials Model for the application in an Austrian university with the respect to graduation documents. The results show the application potential of the new models and relates it to current practices in representing data of academic programs in a meaningful way. An implementation demonstrates use-cases with an immediate effect for HEI and focuses on attractive and lightweight UX to ensure user adoption.
