Help:User Help

These help pages are meant to support the User to read the competencebase and understand the structure behind it. Content makers and Developpers have separate pages when logged in.

Ownership

As Competencebase is a collaborative project, each item (each page) is owned by one of the partners or by Competencebase itself (for the structural information). Partners can reuse each others information, but not change it. Therefore it is possible that a competence or a profile occurs several times in the database.

Knowledge and knowledge blocks

Knowledge means the outcome of the assimilation of information through learning. Knowledge is the body of facts, principles, theories and practices that is related to a field of work or study. ( Cedefop Glossary )

There are two ways knowledge can bedescribed in a competence: as a knowledge deatil, directly in the competence, or as a knowledge block, separate, but linked to the competence. The knowledge detail approach is mainly used in older profiles where less detail and reusability was required. The knowledge blocks are developped for reusability. The volume of the content is chosen in a way that they can serve multiple competences.

Organisation of competences

Because of the amount of competences that are in the database, we need to structure them in a way that follows the logic of the reader. For this we have developped a structure that combines the (working) field and subfield, the Place in the process, the EQF level, a unique identifier, and the Owner. Sorting them like this not only makes the competences more findable, but also puts them in a logical order when reading a profile.

Place in the process

To structure the competences in a more readable order for an averidge reader, we organise them in "order of appearence", at the place in the process where they are most visible or needed.
