Source attribution

The competence frameworks browsable on ExplorerHub are third-party publications, reproduced under the terms of their respective licences. This page states their provenance, full citation and terms of use.

No affiliation

IDCERT S.r.l. and ExplorerHub are not affiliated with, associated with, authorised by, sponsored by or in any way officially connected to the European Commission, the Joint Research Centre (JRC), the OECD or any other body that owns the frameworks reproduced here. The names, trade marks and logos of those bodies belong to their respective owners. Reproducing the content implies no endorsement by them.

Licences and terms

Except where stated otherwise, framework content is reproduced under Creative Commons licences that require attribution. Attribution is not a formality but the constitutive condition of the licence: without it, the right to use the data falls away. Where a source grants no reuse licence, none is inferred: the rights line is reproduced exactly as the document states it, together with the citation the document itself recommends.

Changes from the original

Framework texts are reproduced verbatim from the official publications. Divergences found between editions, and the few corrections of typographic artefacts, are declared one by one in each framework's data and shown on the framework's own page. The navigation structure, the search and the links between frameworks are ExplorerHub's own work and form no part of the original publications.

Frameworks reproduced

Languages marked as an edition by IDCERT have neither an edition published by the document's publisher nor a third-party translation with a named translator: the translation is edited by Centro Studi IDCERT from the original, IDCERT is responsible for it, and the European Commission is not responsible for these translations. They are not official editions of the framework and carry neither the Commission logo nor the EU emblem. Languages marked as an official edition come from the framework's own language editions — for DigComp's Italian, the «Supplemento dati italiano v2» published by the Italian Department for Digital Transformation. Where a language carries two provenances, the framework has an edition in that language that does not cover every text: for DigComp these are the 125 competence statements of areas 4 and 5 out of 362, which the language edition does not have.
