LEAP qualified

Belongs to LEAP 2.0 > classes

Working definition
Details the achievement by the portfolio holder of a recognised qualification, awarded by a recognised body.

Explanation
The term "qualification" is widely used ambiguously, to point either to the qualifications which have been achieved by an individual, or to the qualification in terms of its processes and organizations. To avoid this ambiguity, in LEAP this term "qualified" is used, which makes it clear that it relates to the individual. It places it clearly as a kind of LEAP achievement.

Examples

 * Having achieved Maths GCSE with grade A certified by EDEXCEL in 2003
 * Having achieved a PhD from the University of Liverpool in 1971

Predicates
See the notes on LEAP triples for an explanation of what forms of triples there are, and how they are represented here.
 * Particular "Inherited" predicates are given to clarify their likely meaning for this class.
 * "Direct" predicates are those where this class is in the domain of the predicate (but its superclass is not).
 * "Inverse" predicates, if given for reference, are those where the class is in the range, but not the domain, of the predicate.
 * "=" means the predicate expects a literal object: the type of literal may be specified here.
 * "&rarr;" means the predicate expects an object URL referring to an instance of the given class(es).
 * "&larr;" is used for inverse predicates, and means that triples may exist with instances of the given class(es) as subject and this class as object.

Inherited
from achievement
 * supported by &rarr; e.g. a course that led up to the qualification
 * certified by &rarr; LEAP agent e.g. qualifications awarding body, or other person certifying it

Direct

 * managed by &rarr; LEAP agent e.g. the organization that is responsible for the assessment process

Inverse

 * certifies &larr; LEAP agent e.g. qualifications awarding body, or other person certifying it

Subclasses
It is unlikely that different kinds of qualifications deserve separate subclasses.

IMS EP
See the eP spec as a whole or the QCL class definition, which was intended for qualifications, alongside other formal achievements like certificates and licenses.
