Key challenges are the uniform publication   of unambiguous competency information and ``time-to-competency'' agility. To   this end, Codrive's mission is to develop a conceptual, shared and formal   knowledge representation of competence domains by adopting state-of- the-art   ontology methodology and infrastructure. Community stakeholders include   educational institutes, public employment organisations, and industry partners   from different European countries. The resulting Vocational Competency   Ontology provides a candidate best practice for engineering a community-shared   and reusable ontology base that can be applied by all stakeholders to   semantically reconcile their competency models.
