This document discusses skill and competence based search capabilities in OpenScout. It provides definitions of skills and competences in the context of the European Qualifications Framework. OpenScout allows for competence metadata services to enrich open educational resources with tags related to competences, skills, and difficulty levels. It features a competence catalogue and taxonomy that maps competences to resources, experts, evidence, and proficiency scales. This enables searching and browsing of resources based on competences as well as independent learning based on defined competence profiles.

Skills and competences In the context of EQF, skills are described as cognitive (involving the use of logical, intuitive and creative thinking) and practical (involving manual dexterity and the use of methods, materials, tools and instruments).
