Simon Grant has written an interesting account of his modelling efforts after the last week’s meeting of CEN WS-LT in Lyon. He describes the discussions leading up to a revision of his ongoing modelling work of the learning, assessment and awarding space - what could be seen as the abstract model of the European Learner Mobility space.

What I find particularly interesting is the way Simon reflects on the process of modelling, working towards a deeper understanding of what is expressed in the modelling notations we use. Simon is using CMap tools for his models, a tool that I am glad I have helped to introduce to the standardisation community in CEN WS-LT and ISO SC36.

I am no encouraging colleagues to store their map at the ICOPER CMap server at the ICOPER Discourse Tool. If we succeed to host most of the conceptual maps the standardisation community is working on here, we will have a unique resource for negotiation concepts and re-using definitions. Simon has stored his map in the European Learner Mobility folder at the ICOPER CMap server.
