Socle technique
Technical Working Group of the Education and Skills Data Space
Une Assemblée est un groupe de membres qui se réunissent périodiquement pour prendre des décisions sur un domaine ou un sujet spécifique lié à la co-construction de l'espace de données d'éducation et de compétences (DASES).
Il existe deux types d'Assemblées sur cette plateforme :
- Les groupes de travail DASES organisent des réunions, des débats sur divers sujets et créent des sondages, qui aboutissent éventuellement à des consensus de la communauté ou à des besoins de développement de nouveaux services communs
- L'Assemblée générale de Prometheus-X tient des réunions pour voter les règles de gouvernance et également pour voter sur les propositions de financement des nouveaux services communs identifiés au sein des groupes de travail DASES
À propos de cette assemblée
This group focus on the deep technical aspects related to the Dataspace Education & Skills. It intersects between the needs identified and discussed in the others DASES working groups and the requirements and guidelines established by Gaia-X.
If you want to participate in this open group, please make sure you are familiar with Gaia-X guidelines and vocabulary. Here are a few GAIA-X publications to read:
- Gaia-X Architecture Document 21.12 (Lien externe)
- Gaia-X Federation Services (Lien externe)
- Gaia-X Labelling Framework (Lien externe)
Gaia-X publish his work on this Gitlab repository (Lien externe)
We also recommend you to read the position paper (WIP) for the Dataspace Education & Skills: Education & Skills poition paper (Lien externe)

But de l'action
Enable the free flow of education and skills data in Europe, in a human-centric, ethical and trustworthy space
Interoperability between educational systems and transfer of data between them is not a new issue. Several standards were developed over the year, especially with the development of LMS (Moodle, Canvas, etc) and various other digital tools used in the education sector.
However, none of these standards cover the whole range of application and needs. As a result, a lot of various standards co-exist and sometimes overlap.
The edtech market is booming and many solutions to various traditional education issues are being solved by very innovative companies. But this also means a lot of fragmented actors, with many different solutions that only solve a small part of the whole learner experience. Edtech companies are well aware of this issue and there is mutual agreement in the community that interoperability is the way forward for everyone. The ultimate goal is to offer an integrated and smooth (almost invisible) user experience to learners even if on the backend they use many different apps/technologies of various edtech companies.
Edtech companies are currently wasting a lot of money, time and effort to make their solutions compatible with other solutions on the market. This is especially true in the EU because of the additional fragmentation of the education market between each country with their own educational systems.
The solution is not to reinvent the wheel by creating another series of standards
Our approach is to identify what is missing in existing standards or referentials and how to extend them or make them more interoperable.
