Ontology for Open Digital Educational Credentials: A Step Towards Decentralized Learning Paths

Abstract:

This manuscript presents the conceptualization and design of a decentralized ontology tailored specifically for educational credentials. Designed to act as a tool for structuring personalized learning paths, the ontology recognizes and responds to the current demand for a more integrated and holistic education system. In designing the ontology, we seek to ensure the interoperability of educational credentials from different systems and platforms. This integration is vital in an increasingly diverse and fragmented educational world. In addition, it seeks to enhance efficiency and trust by incorporating secure issuance and verification mechanisms in the proposal, making use of the inherent advantages of decentralized technologies, particularly Blockchain technology.
