EDISON project published the EDISON Data Science Framework (EDSF) Release 2
documents set
http://edison-project.eu/edison/edison-data-science-framework-edsf
EDSFrelease2 includes the following components:
·
Data Science Competence Framework (CF-DS),
·
Data Science Body of Knowledge (DS-BoK),
·
Data Science Model Curriculum (MC-DS), and
·
Data Science Professional Profiles (DSPP).
EDSF provides a conceptual basis for the Data Science Profession definition,
targeted education and training, professional certification, organizational and
individual skills management and career transferability.
The new release has incorporated multiple contribution received from the EDISON
Liaison Group (ELG), champion universities and wide expert community. The EDSF
development has been enriched by the cooperation with the APEC project DARE
(Data Analytics Rise Employment) which was resulted in mutual contribution to
EDSF and the DARE Recommended DSA Competences.
The following developments took place since the Release 1 and currently
available in the EDSF Release 2:
CF-DS - All competences, skills and knowledge topics are enumerated; Data
Science Analytics competences defined in the e-CF3.0 format; added definition of
the Data Science workplace (soft) skills and 21st century skills
DSPP - Data Science Professional Profiles definition revised; added section on
Data Science and Analytics enabled professions.
DS-BoK - Added full list of Knowledge Areas and Knowledge Units and their
mapping to CCS2012 and existing BoKs
MC-DS - Learning Units are re-defined according to the updated DS-BoK; suggested
courses are defined for two groups: Data Science Analytics and KAG1-DSDA, and
Data Science Engineering KAG2-DSENG
Current EDSF Release 2 is fully ready for practical use and implementation in
Data Science education and training.
Fully enumerated competences, skills and knowledge units provide basis for
developing APIs and applications for competence benchmarking, job profiles
definition, individual training development.
The project consortium will continue ESDF update and improvement based on the
practitioners and community feedback.
