Educational and Occupational Credentials in schema.org Community Group Launched

With your support, the Educational and Occupational Credentials in schema.org Community Group has been launched:
  http://www.w3.org/community/eocred-schema/

This group was originally proposed on 2017-10-31
by Phil Barker. The following people supported its
creation: 
      Phil Barker
      Kerri Lemoie
      Raphaël Troncy
      Vicki Holland
      Vera G. Meister
  
To join the group, please use:
 http://www.w3.org/community/eocred-schema/join

Please note that supporting a group is different from joining
a group. Supporters must also enroll if they wish to participate.

--------------------
The aim of this community group is to show how educational and
occupational credentials may be described with schema.org, and to
propose any additional terms for schema.org that may be necessary.
Educational and Occupational Credentials are defined as diplomas,
academic degrees, certifications, qualifications, badges, etc., that a
person can obtain through learning, education and/or training. They are
typically awarded on successful completion of an assessment of relevant
capabilities. See also the Connecting Credentials  glossary of
credentialing terms .

Related work includes: the  Credential Transparency Description Language
(CTDL) developed for the Credential Engine;  IMS Global's  Badge
Alliance ;  and, the W3C  Verifiable Claims Working Group . The work of
this group will complement these, with a focus on integration with
schema.org and on describing a credential that is being offered rather
than the claim to posses one.
