Hi elf,
some time ago I co-designed the Cognitive Characteristics Ontology [1]
as extension/addition to FOAF to express cognitive characteristics,
e.g., skills. You can find various examples in the examples section [2]
of the ontology specification documentation that include skill
descriptions in short and detailed (amongst other things, e.g., beliefs).
Furthermore, at [3] you can find a summary of CV schemata that can be
utilised to describe someone's skills etc.
Cheers,
Bo
PS: I think at LOV [4] you can probably also find some more pointers to
useful vocabularies for describing your domain

I would like to figure out how we (general human population) can express our
skill sets as LD. As well as our *intention* to #skillshare - learn and teach
(or I prefer to see the second as *assisting others with learning*)
I see various online services where people can create profile and add to it
their skills. Sadly most of them works as proprietary silos. I would like to
create for myself a proper WebID profile, similar to ones in
https://my-profile.eu or http://foafpress.org and start expressing my skills
there as LD. Later on, while starting to participate in various online
services, I would demand that instead of throwing a form at me (and
contributing to my networking fatigue), they just consume my linked open
profile. Of course for services running open source code I can also take more
proactive approach and offer help with implementing such features!
I would also like to look if folks from Mozilla feel like aligning their
http://openbadges.org to use JSON-LD. On their mailing list I remember mentions
of http://www.lrmi.net and http://learningregistry.org
To offer an example, I would like to publish on my independent open linked
profile:
I can repair bicycles (a claim)
Other people also say that I can repair bicycles (verifications of my claim)
My history of volunteering in community bike repair shops (claims)
My history of participation in skillsharing events related to bike repair with
distinction of learning and teaching (claims)
Other people also saying that I participated in all the activities stated above
(verification of my claims)
I don't want to learn bike rapair
I could help with teaching bike repair
(i skip now labeling claims and verifications of them)
I can program with ruby
Open source repositories where I committed .rb files
I gave those talks about ruby during conferences
I would love to learn more ruby
I would love to help with teaching ruby
I can play guitar
Online audio where one an hear me playing guitar
I would love to learn how to play guitar
I don't want to help with teaching how to play guitar
We organize workshop on programming with javascript
One can learn how to program javascript
One can help with teaching how to program with javascript
We maintain open source project
Contributing requires skills in ruby on rails
Contributing requires skills in rspec
Contributing requires skills in gitflow
etc.
Some of example projects which might adopt open way of expressing sills:
http://economyapp.eu
http://sharetribe.com
http://www.justfortheloveofit.org
http://bancodetiempo.preparate.org/es/
https://www.timerepublik.com
http://www.zumbara.com/en/
more timebanking services ;)
https://p2pu.org (already using open badges!)
http://www.opentechschool.org
http://tradeschool.coop
http://thepublicschool.org
I appreciate all suggestions on implementation details as well as other
collaboration spaces where people already work on such topic or might feel
interested in #DIT[1] :)
