Research properties and structure that can best describe a degree.

General:

  • Degree achievement types
  • Complex degree in OBv3
  • Simple degree in OBv3
    • I have created a new credential that strips down data from the complex credential linked above.
    • I removed some sample endorsement info from an accrediting agency and department of education, but this could be a useful inclusion.
    • I removed project results and resultDescriptions, but this could be a useful inclusion.
    • I removed project evidence, but this could be a useful inclusion.
    • I noticed fieldOfStudy and specialization in the sample degree. These fields can probably be used for majors. It could still be worth asking AACRAO about majors, as they could be in a position to define an acceptable range of values for these fields.

AACRAO:

  • Has the community considered adding degree subcategories to the PESC vocabulary (e.g., in addition to Bachelor Degree - Bachelor of Arts Degree, Bachelor of Science Degree)?
  • Has the community considered adding a definition for majors to the PESC vocabulary? There exists fields like fieldOfStudy and specialization fields, but we may need definitions for an acceptable range of values for these fields.

If at all possible, we should also reconcile the Degree/diploma data model with the European Europass data model: https://ec.europa.eu/digital-building-blocks/wikis/display/EBSIDOC/Verifiable+Diploma+Schema

Please see the Credential Transparency Description Language (CTDL) handbook section for the Credential class and its several subclasses for types of degrees and other credentials. The handbook provides useful diagrams, explanatory text, and links directly to the CTDL credential classes where you can see the numerous properties for describing credentials, including all types of degrees, and structure. The terms tables for the credential classes also provide the range of properties from other classes. Note, click on diagrams to enlarge them. All of these resources and use of the CTDL is freely available to anyone.

  1. CTDL Handbook section on Credential classes https://credreg.net/ctdl/handbook#credential
  2. Detailed Examples section of the CTDL Handbook shows additional diagrams and explantory text about relationships between classes https://credreg.net/ctdl/handbook#detailedexamples
  3. The Credential section of the CTDL Types List, shows the heirarchy of the credential classes including degrees https://credreg.net/page/typeslist#ceterms_Credential
  4. The CTDL terms page https://credreg.net/ctdl/terms# is linked to from the above referenced resources. You can also use the "jump to" at the bottom, left of the page to jump to the classes. Where you can see the class tables including credential and the numerous other degree and other types of credential classes. Here's the Credential Class direct link https://credreg.net/ctdl/terms#Credential. As an example of one of the several types of degrees, here's the https://credreg.net/ctdl/terms/Credential#AssociateDegree.
  5. It's useful to read the top sections of the CTDL Handbook. Here's the section on RDF and Linked Data https://credreg.net/ctdl/handbook#rdflinkeddata.
  6. You can also download serializations. Select the Credential or specific types of credential classes and download https://credreg.net/ctdl/schema.
  7. If you want to download the specific degree classes as a CSV, use this mapping page https://credreg.net/ctdl/mapping.

Thank you @jeannekitchens. We have a real use case and will try to apply it to this.

For embedding CTDL degree information in digitial credentials, see the technical LER guide: https://credreg.net/quickstart/lerguide

And these worked examples that were community developed during the OB3 process: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ei7uxTeLs_vQPtMpRPx4KVZ-nQ46ySUlXpF1nzhgJUM/edit#heading=h.i33feeiez3el

If you need other help with modeling or examples, let me or Jeanne know, thanks.

Adding some additional notes based on initial research with DCC members

  • JSON-LD internationalization feature can be used to address representations with multiple language translations like: "name": { "en": "High School", "fr": "L'Ecole" }
  • Properties:
    • Student Full Name
    • Title of Degree/Major
    • Research Field
    • School
    • Department
    • Division
    • Issuer
    • Type of degree (eg: undergraduate, graduate)
    • Evidence (eg: authentication seals. e-portfolio id, Academic supervisor's signature)
    • Student ID
    • Date of Graduation
    • Country

Moving to backlog because it is an ongoing research issue not a sprint-related one.
