To coordinate global data and AI literacy building efforts, this standard establishes an operational framework and associated capabilities for designing policy interventions, tracking their progress, and empirically evaluating their outcomes. The standard includes a common set of definitions, language, and understanding of data and AI literacy, skills, and readiness.
The Competencies and Academic Standards Exchange (CASE), developed by 1EdTech, is a standard that streamlines the digital sharing and organization of academic frameworks, learning outcomes, skills, and competencies across educational systems. It converts traditional static formats into a structured, machine-readable model, making it easier for platforms like learning management systems (LMS), assessment tools, and curriculum software to align educational content with defined standards and goals. The latest version, CASE 1.1, uses a RESTful API to enable real-time updates and integration, ensuring that educators and institutions can connect skills and competencies to broader educational frameworks and workforce needs. By fostering interoperability, CASE supports mapping curricula, tagging resources, and tracking student progress, enhancing the focus on learning outcomes and skill development in digital education environments.
This European Standard is applicable to the digital exchange of information about terms or concepts relating to curriculum information. This includes values to be used in metadata to describe learning resources and learner profiles. The main uses of CEF instances and related services are expected to be the provision of: - controlled vocabularies; - navigation structures; - additional curriculum information; - mappings.
is not a standard in itself but a tool of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) for making studies and courses more transparent and thus helping to enhance the quality of higher education. ECTS is the basis for all transfer of educational data since it defines words like credit (what workload should one credit be), courses, programs, levels and diplomas. It has resulted in the ECTS Users guide which has been adopted by Ministers for Higher Education of the European Higher Education Area in 2015 at the Yerevan ministerial conference. It is therefore the official Guide for the use of ECTS.
Edu-API is the latest in the 1EdTech family of academic enterprise specifications. Driving off the comprehensive modeling of Learning Information Services (LIS) and leveraging the extensive history and experience of past efforts like OneRoster® and LTI®, Edu-API allows for the standardized exchange of data between the transactional systems that manage higher education administration and teaching and learning. That means not only increased efficiency on campus but also the facilitation of the development of a new generation of smart, sustainable apps, personalized based on data about the student shared in a secure and responsible way.
The Europass Learning Model aims to capture the results of any non-formal and formal learning across Europe, as well as the validation of non-formal and informal learning. It is designed to provide a single format to describe certificates of attendance, examination results, degrees and diplomas, diploma supplements, professional certifications, employer recommendations and any other kind of claims that are related to learning. The ELM specification is available on GitHub.
ELMO is a data format for the exchange of (education) result information. ELMO is an implementation of the European (CEN) standards ELM-AI (European Learner Mobility – Achievement Information, EN 15981) and MLO (Metadata for Learning Objects, EN 15982).
It is an XML based format and public domain.
ELMO is built up of three basic elements; Learner, Issuer and Learning Opportunity Specification.
ELMO is used by Erasmus Without paper (EWP) and EMREX
Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI), a technical standard developed by the 1EdTech Consortium, seamlessly connects external learning tool - like apps, assessments, or content - with platforms such as learning management systems (LMS). Finalized and adopted globally across K-12, and higher education, LTI enhances teaching and learning environments by enabling secure, single sign-on access without separate logins. It supports robust data exchange about users, their roles, and institutional enrollment, fostering an efficient, interconnected edtech ecosystem worldwide. The standard continues to evolve, with 16 extension specifications refining its capabilities.

This document specifies a metadata structure to store, present and exchange online learning facilitator (OLF) information by specifying the data elements and their attributes to describe facilitator’s information on various kinds of online education platforms.
This document provides a generic information model of OLF to describe relevant information that applies to the facilitation and training services provided online, and includes information about the person offering facilitation, the affiliation of the person, facilitation ability, facilitation practices, the facilitation service offered, learners’ reviews and testimonies, and related social network information. The conceptual data model allows the linguistic diversity of OLF information attributes and offers a flexible metadata schema to describe them.
ELMO is a further specification of MLO. Profile specific for learner mobility. CEN stopped the work on this.
This European Standard specifies the characteristics of electronic representation of Learning Opportunities in order to facilitate their advertising and subsequent discovery by prospective learners. Key users of the standard will be: - those who provide opportunities for learning and wish to advertise them; - those who offer electronic search services that aggregate results from multiple Learning Opportunity providers; - those who wish to compare Learning Opportunities that have been represented electronically. This European Standard specifies an abstract model for representing Learning Opportunities. The model specifies three resources about which metadata can be stored to facilitate advertising of Learning Opportunities: a) the Learning Opportunity Provider; b) the Learning Opportunity Specification; and c) the Learning Opportunity Instance. This European Standard specifies the characteristics of relations between the three resources and recommends a core set of metadata for each.
OneRoster, developed by 1EdTech, is a standardized specification designed to facilitate the secure and efficient exchange of roster-related data, course information, and academic performance metrics within K-12/ Primary/ Secondary educational environments. It establishes a structured data model encompassing entities such as users (students and instructors), courses, enrolments, organizational hierarchies, and grade records, ensuring robust interoperability between disparate systems like Student Information Systems (SIS) and Learning Management Systems (LMS). The current iteration, OneRoster 1.2, provides three modular services—Rostering, Gradebook, and Assessment Results—delivered through a RESTful API with JSON payloads or as CSV files for bulk data transfer, allowing institutions to adopt specific components as required. By leveraging these services, OneRoster automates data synchronization, enhances data integrity, and supports real-time updates, serving as a critical framework for integrating heterogeneous edtech solutions and optimizing digital learning ecosystems across European contexts and beyond.
OOAPI is a set of definitions that allows software programmes to communicate with each other. It serves as an interface between different software applications. Through this API, educational institutions make useful information available: from grades to credits, from timetables to free workstations. Developers then integrate this data into new applications.

IEEE 1484.20.2 Recommended Practices for Defining Competencies was developed to promote a common understanding for those involved in defining policies, standards, and data structures for competency definitions and frameworks. It discusses various approaches for developing competency definitions and frameworks and incorporates and promotes the principles of ethical development, definition, documentation, and reuse of competency definitions and frameworks. However, these recommended practices cannot replace the role of experts who have developed specific domain expertise that is invaluable to organizations developing specific competency definitions and frameworks.
