Element: ReusableCompetencyDefinition

Name ReusableCompetencyDefinition
Type ReusableCompetencyDefinitionType
Documentation (of type) Definition: A structured description of meaning(s) or semantics associated with a given competency. A Reusable Competency Definition (RCD) is reusable in that it is without a specific context. Hierarchical competency taxomomies or non-hierarchical "maps" may be composed at an atomistic level of references to many RCDs. An RCD might represent a node at any given level of such a taxonomy. Thus, an RCD might be used for either course-grain competency "clusters" or fine-grain individual competencies.

Usage Rule: The RCD concept is important for simplifying HR transactions. The basic idea is that full definitional content does not have to be communicated within each transaction. Instead of passing the full content, identifiers are exchanged referencing definitions that are known or discoverable by the trading partner.
