Digital credential field data mapping

Abstract

Techniques described herein relate to receiving multiple sources of verified data associated with a digital credential receiver, and mapping the digital credential receiver to one or more data field data objects based on analyses of the verified data. In some embodiments, a digital credential platform server may analyze the various data sources associated with the digital credential receiver, in order to determine and calculate correlation scores between the digital credential receiver and various field data objects. A combination of analyses and/or comparisons may be used between the credential receiver data and the corresponding retrieved from field data objects, such as the digital credential objects earned by the credential receiver, the credential receiver's verified evaluation records, and/or the career phase of the digital credential receiver.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a non-provisional of and claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 559,433, entitled “DIGITAL CREDENTIAL PLATFORM,” filed Sep. 15, 2017, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference herein for all purposes.BACKGROUND[0002]Changes in computing technologies have provided individuals with additional options for obtaining and validating technical skills and proficiencies. Rather than attending traditional educational institutions and professional training courses, many individuals may now obtain their technical skills and proficiencies from alternative sources, such as structured or unstructured and asynchronous eLearning programs using distance learning technology, self-study research without any direct supervision, or various alternative technical learning, training, and testing entities. Although such advances in technologies and increasing globalization trends provide many more options...

Benefits of technology

[0005]Various additional techniques described herein relate to both the retrieval of different types of credential receiver data and/or field data from different data sources, and/or to the analyses and correlation calculations between digital credential receivers and field data objects. For example, in some embodiments, the platform server may store and maintain expiration dates and/or half-lives for various types of data associated with digital credential receivers, such as the receiver's digital credentials, the receiver's verified evaluation data, and the receiver's career phase data. Expiration dates and/or half-lives may be used as a multiplier to weight the correlation calculations of credential receivers to field data objects. Additionally, in some embodiments, reverse analyses and calculations may be performed, in which a plurality of different digital credential recei
