What is ISO/IEC 22602 – MLR competency model about?
ISO/IEC 22602 specifies the description of entities of the real world dealing with competencies, competencies description, competencies evaluation, and of the operations done by these entities on competencies.
ISO/IEC 22602 provides a generic representation of a ‘competency’ that will facilitate the exchange of information between systems using different data models to represent competencies, and the linkage of competency models to other metadata models.
NOTE: The concrete content of items of discourse in the real world related to ‘competency’ is not specified in ISO/IEC 22602, which only deals with the formal expression of the discourse.

Why should you use ISO/IEC 22602 - MLR Competency model?
ISO/IEC 22602 provides a model to express all information required for the exchange and integration of heterogeneous descriptions of ‘competency’ and of heterogeneous ‘competency objects’ which ensure proficiency in learning by students through demonstration of the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes required for dealing with real-life situations at the age and grade appropriate level.
The conceptual reference model proposed in ISO/IEC 22602 provides an abstract model of a ‘competency’ and related entities that allows accounting for the meaning of any competency description in the real world. This representation allows comparison, hierarchical classification and aggregation of different items of discourse related to “competency”.
In this ISO/IEC 22602, the entities of the competency world are described using the metadata for learning resources (MLR) format as resource classes. All these entities have specific properties relating them to other entities of the competency world which are not data properties.
