Multilingual Data Model for the Interoperability of Learning Opportunities, Qualifications, Accreditation and Credentials in Europe, developed by the European Commission. Built on open standards (W3C Verifiable Credential data model), the ELM provides the first unitary and comprehensive data model across the European Education Area. Available in 30 languages, it provides tools to facilitate the recognition of qualifications and validation of skills, promoting a culture of upskilling, reskilling, and lifelong learning.

With over 500 properties, the ELM allows for the capture and validation of all learning related data, including formal, non-formal and informal learning. It caters for the needs of general education, Vocational Education and Training, Higher Education, adult learning, and labour market trainings. This allows for the creation and portability of rich data, that are not limited to a single sector, and addresses actors in Employment, Skills, Education and Training alike.
