Abstract:
Bologona process aimed to ease the mobility of students across Europe.
Hence, e orts were put developing standards and proposing suitable archi-
tectures that t all across Europe. Inspired by this, the mobility project
tried to gather and reuse all the work previously done in related areas. Mo-
bility reused the vocabularies, ideas and focused on the mobility of students.
However, it created an opportunity for a semi-automated mapping tool for
mapping proposed standard to the heterogeneous schema of di erent insti-
tutes. It lacks enough vocabulary to cover exchange of information for some
educational certi cates in Pakistan.
We suggest a prototype infrastructure that provides more control and
improves this exchange of information between partaking institutes by cov-
ering more detailed vocabulary. The term infrastructure includes both the
architecture and our proposed standard (DRESS). We avail the opportunity
that The Mobility Project provided and suggest a mapping tool that semi-
automatically create mappings between our standard and the heterogeneous
data-sets of di erent partaking institutes.
To evaluate this research, we created a test-bed environment and vali-
dated the proposed standard XML schema de nitions against the generated
XML documents using di erent evaluation techniques.
