This language encompasses over 1000 terms for rich descriptions of credentials, competencies, skills, jobs, occupations, providers, quality assurance entities and processes, assessments, pathways, learning opportunities, outcomes, and more. CTDL is a continuously evolving framework that supports global linked open data for credentials. Credential Engine offers unparalleled technical, programmatic, application, and policy expertise. This resource provides deeper insight into the CTDL and Credential Registry, and how they can power and improve learning and work data ecosystems.
