Closed cdmgtri closed 4 years ago

cdmgtri commented 4 years ago

There are currently various education-related components scattered across the model. Look at refactoring these into a base education type in Core and augmentations in the domains.

Current education components in Core

nc:PersonType

Proposed education components in Core

nc:PersonType

nc:EducationType

nc:EducationLevelType

nc:EducationQualificationType

For a degree, certificate, grade, etc. Is 'qualification' the best generic term? Is 'credential' better?

Proposed domain changes

em:EducationType

Change type to an augmentation of nc:EducationType

em:FirstResponderType

hs:EducationType

Definition: A data type for describing the educational issues related to the court report and service plan of any participant in the case.

Rename type as EducationIssueType for better clarity.

hs:PersonAugmentationType

hs:StudentType

im:AlienStudentAdmissionType

intel:PersonEducationDetailsType

Remove type. This is currently accessed via intel:PersonAugmentationType and will no longer be needed.

intel:PersonAugmentationType

j:EducationAugmentationType

Change from an augmentation of hs:EducationType to nc:EducationType.

j:EducationalActivityType

j:PatientStudentServiceAssociationType

Examples of occupations in this category include janitors and cleaners, cashiers, and agricultural equipment operators.

NCES 2-digit CIP codes

OPM has a detailed code set of 1,720 instruction programs ("An employee's major field of study."). The Harmonization Workgroup does not recommend including this code set at this time.

cdmgtri commented 4 years ago

The Harmonization Workgroup recommends the proposed changes.

A code set from National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) was provided. The 2-digit series prefixes from the codes can be used for qualification codes: https://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/cipcode/default.aspx?y=55
