A SF is simply a collection (with a title, description etc.) and it ‘collects’ together a range of abilities (skills, competences) which evidence the overall purpose of the collection. Both the collection and individual abilities can have linked resources, tags etc.

Where the problem lays (I think) is in having a common method for describing the ‘empty’ standard e.g. this is the role; these are the areas of expertise making up the role; these are the skills making up the areas; this is the rating scale used etc (all before the user adds any evidence or commentary). This is a framework of ‘expectation’ and ought to be able to be described in such a way as to make it usable by end users in different systems. If such a spec was used it would mean, for instance, that all the NOS’s could be written against it and so be instantly available to any user in any compliant system.

Hope that makes sense
