Compiled August 2004 by Ingo Dahn (dahn@uni-koblenz.de), Knowledge Media Institute Koblenz, University Koblenz-Landau for Deliverable D4 of the Telcert Project based on previous work by Mario Ähnelt, Fraunhofer IGD Rostock

 

The European Diploma Supplement (EDS) has been mapped to the IMS Learner Information Package by CEN/ISSS CWA 14926 (March 2004). Note that this could have been done in several ways, for example a student may have completed a certain activity to gain a certain competency, and this information may be described either as a an activity or as a competency or as both.

<identification><demographics><uid>

An electronic DS may need to contain multiple UIDs. The UIDs

will not be globally unique, but must be unique to the institution,

or made to be unique (for example by concatenating the UID with

the date of birth). Whatever the formal position, it cannot be

assumed that one individual will be identified by only one UID

within one institution's databases.
