With many data standards in use across many sectors and markets,
coordinating and aligning data standards:
1. Support a seamless, lifelong learning infrastructure and sustainable standards.
2. Provide an open forum for emerging and innovative technologies and business applications wishing to work within a standards environment.
3. Promote existing standards-based solutions while not disrupting current investments in technology and systems.
4. Foster an understanding in each stakeholder’s role across education, employment and training sectors.
