The W3C Credentials Community Group

Deb Everhart: Important to draw a line between occupation and education/training, or other documented learning experiences should be in the scope of this work.

Deb Everhart: Scope could be made more explicit about HR, workforce development, etc., not just colleges and universities.

Phil Archer: Good scope observation. Concern of proliferation of groups talking about this. It is worth remembering that this group is part of the VC standards work. Thus should include some who are more technical. In other groups, there might be people concerned with adoption, for example, and not so much with the standards.

Phil Archer: So there will be other groups talking about this, there will be lines between these discussions, but keep focused on the strengths of this group.

<phil_l_(p1)> For example - there will be two workgroups in the LERN community, one addressing Adoption and Barriers to it for VCs, and another associated with presentation scenarios. We (LERN) will have specific projects with project plans & deliverables in a reasonably short time frame (3-5 months). The latter WG is about how Holders leverage self-issued credentials & possible approaches by which these can be verifiably endorsed.

<phil_l_(p1)> LERN Meeting Sept. 27th, 2021, 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm, at https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZMvf-Gqpj8oG9fNqc551WGQ-x4qd1RY8kN7

<phil_l_(p1)> Whoohoo!

Kerri Lemoie: We have two work items. Link in chat.

Kerri Lemoie: Link at top to CCG work items. We have a ways to go to fill this out. I'm sure many have use cases that are not in the document or the repo yet.

Kerri Lemoie: Look at the guidelines for use cases. We have a form to submit use cases.

Kerri Lemoie: Second work item is the "modeling educational verifiable credentials" section of the Work items draft.

<phil_l_(p1)> The HR Open community is adhering to the VC Data Model for it's work in the Resume Group, as well.

Kerri Lemoie: Open to discussion, anything missing? Ideally I'd like to see this model doc completed by end of year.

Phil Archer: HR Open is trying to look at credentials in structured way that represent employer/employee relationship. JDX was handed over to HR Open and has become the job description template (JSON data model as well). Andrew Consolo, resume workgroup (or recruitment workgroup), looks at what job candidates should be submitted to job portals as JSON structured documents. Whether to include in the same VC free text narrative, or whether that would be separate in the context of a presentation.

<phil_barker> (as I understand it) HR Open Recruitment is the workgroup, resume/CV is the current task they are working on.

Phil Archer: Most recently, how might endorsement for on-the-job learning work? There is workgroup looking at this.

Phil Archer: Phil Barker sits on that group as well.

Phil Barker: Name of the workgroup is HR Open Recruitment.

<phil_l_(p1)> Thanks for the clarification

Deb Everhart: A question of who is the "they." Having Phil and Phil on these different workgroups is valuable.

Kerri Lemoie: Please sign up for the mailing list.
