Open, freely available resources
Credential Engine is committed to empowering everyone to contribute to open, transparent credentialing ecosystems. In support of our mission, we develop and disseminate freely available resources and technologies. These technologies include the Credential Transparency Description Language (CTDL), credential and competency publishing tools, an open-source Credential Registry, and methods for using CTDL linked open data in the Registry and in an organization’s own systems and web tools. Our support includes guides and documentation, communities of practice, and basic technical assistance for publishing and consuming CTDL data. We encourage everyone to use and build upon our openly licensed resources and technologies.
