A Competency Map can be viewed as an identified graph that aggregates two or more competency statements (asn:statement) and the relationships asserted among them.
CompetencyMap
A Competency Map is a profile that borrows statements (Statement) from two or more standard documents (StandardDocument).A Competency Map may or may not define new statements in its own namespace.
A resource that describes the mapping between a learning resource and a node in a learning outcomes framework.
Correlation Resource
The Correlation Resource is an entity intended to provide a rich description of a mapping (correlation) between a Learning Resource and a Statement when a binary assertion of a relationship is insufficient.
Criterion Category
Resource identifying a category by which Rubric Criterion may be grouped.
Criterion Level
Resource identifying one or more benchmarks that must be met to achieve a performance task.
Derived Standard Document
A collection of statements representing an expectation of what students should know, value, and be able to do at a target age or age range that are substantially defined by a different jurisdiction.
Derived Statement
An assertion representing an expectation of what students should know, value, and be able to do at a target age or age range that is derived from a statement defined by a different jurisdiction.
Educational Framework
Similar to the class ConceptScheme with an intended focus on education and training. Examples of educational frameworks include, but are not limited to, frameworks enumerating competencies, text complexity, proficiency scales, assessment rubrics of various forms, and specialized subject vocabularies.
The class of all structured sets of conceptual resources intentionally designed for use as value vocabulary terms in education and training contexts.
Jurisdiction Encoding Schemes
Controlled vocabularies of terms denoting the juristiction or domain of the standards document.
A resource that is used as part of an Educational Activity (e.g. a textbook) or that describes (e.g. a lesson plan) or records the Educational Activity (e.g. an audio- or video-recording of a lesson).
Learning Resource
Proficiency Scale
The class of all structured concept schemes identifying discrete levels of expertise and performance mastery required either by a competency or to be achieved by a learner.
Proficiency scales define levels of performance (what a person does) as distinct from knowledge of specific information (what a person knows) and outline tasks a person can manage and the skills necessary to progressively accomplish explicit competencies at increasing levels of complexity. Proficiency scales: (1) assist in making judgments about the kinds of tasks related to a competency that a person is able to perform; and (2) to compare the abilities of different persons with regard to achievement of those competencies at different levels.
Progression Level
Is an dentifiable point along a developmental progression of competence, achievement or temporal position.
Is a set of identifiable points along a developmental progression including increasing levels of competence, achievement or temporal position (e.g., "Beginner", "Second Quarter").
Progression Model
Rights and Attribution

Resource providing guidance in evaluating the quality and level of person's responses or actions based on an explicit set of criteria.
Rubric
Rubric Criterion
Resource identifying a criterion that must be met to demonstrate quality performance of an objective or task.
Standard Document
A collection of statements representing an expectation of what students or workers should know, value, and be able to do.
Statement
An assertion representing an expectation of what students or workers should know, value, and be able to do.
Controlled vocabularies of terms denoting the publication status of the standards document.
Status Encoding Schemes
An alignment is an assertion of some degree of eqiuvalency between the subject and the object of the assertion.
A standards document or statement from which the statement or document being described is aligned.
align from
align to
An alignment is an assertion of some degree of eqiuvalency between the subject and the object of the assertion.
A standards document or statement to which the statement or document being described is aligned.
Alternative Identifier
An alternative URI by which the resource is identified.
Alternative Statement Notation
An alphanumeric notation or ID code identifying the statement in common use among end-users.
Assesses Competency
The competency that the learning resource being described assesses.
Related resource providing guidance in evaluating the quality and level of person's responses or actions based on an explicit set of criteria.
Assessment Rubric
Authority Status
The status of a standards statement denoting whether the statement owes its origin to the promulgating agency of the standards document of which the statement is a member (i.e., value "Original") or to some 3rd party (i.e., "Derived").
Description of a level of achievement on a performance task defined by the RubricCriterion.
Can have one or more per CriterionLevel.
Benchmark
Broad Alignment

Cross-subject Reference
An explicit reference by the promulgating agency establishing a relationship between the statement being described and statement in a separate subject standards document (interdisciplinary statement references).
