What to do in the project

In principle, the exchange of data between the employabilityPortfolio™ and other systems that support packaging in the following standards is possible:

1)	IMS ePortfolio (inclusive IMS LIP, for portfolio parts)

2)	LEAP2A, which will be realized in this project

and the systems with specific import/export formats (XML based)

3)	PF Global, PaperFree Portfolio

4)	Public Employment Service of the Netherlands (called CWI), employment data

5)	Kenteq.nl, Dutch vocational knowledge center for technical vocations; APL data

6)	A school e-portfolio system e.g. Three Ships, N@Tschool! of ROC Zadkine Rotterdam

7)	Horeca.nl, Dutch hospitality sector, data for the Career Coach.

The partners who exchange via LEAP2A specification will be determined later. Nottingham is one of the candidates.

'Deliverables'

The main deliverables are:

a) an information analysis of the data which will be exchanged

b) a design report for the mapping of the data

c) test scenario's

d) test report from the 3 iterations

e) conclusions and recommendations

The project outcomes are:

1.	proven interoperability between the employabilityPortfolio™ and several other portfolio systems via LEAP2A

2.	lessons learned about the confrontation of the two standards LEAP2A and IMS ePortfolio

3.	lessons learned about exchanging data between school portfolio’s and “work” portfolio’s

4.	lessons learned about exchanging data between 2 countries.
