Compleap project actors are described above. From the framework point of view the roles are meaningful and the implementer of the framework should consider what roles are required to implement the framework and what are the actors or stakeholders (link to eduuni wp 5) in each role.
Business Service Map
...
Framework's business services are described above. In this framework business service produces value to the learner. The learner starts using the business service by contacting the actor producing the service. The contacting may occur via different channels which are up to an implementer to define. Some of the services require that the learner has to give some information as input to the service and the learner gets information back. Some of the services produce information for the other services to be utilized in the learner's pathway and some services give actual value increment to the learner. The while the business services may be fully automated there is still need for person-to-person interaction and, thus, service design should take other actors in account when applications are defined.

The conceptual data model does not tell how the information is actually structured or modeled. From the framework perspective the concepts are recognized as something which is needed to make data flow smoothly among processes.(tehdään keskeisten käsitteiden määrittelyt)
Analytics DataflowData flow
Data flow model in the Compleap project illustrates how data flows in the Compleap user services. Information about formal education, previous work history is gathered automatically from other systems and databases. Information about non formal and informal education as well as interests comes from the manual user (learner) input. Specific data set is extracted and used as a data combination to visualize competences for the user and at the same time stimulate his reflection on his current competence situation. User can also manually select data combination and filters to get a education recommendation. This is content based recommendation. 10 best results are presented to the user where he can further select his favorites and proceed to learners path visualization where information about education option is visualized for the user again to promote his understanding of the studying and also self-reflection. User is also able to give feedback about competence and learners path visualizations as well as education recommendations.
Information flow described above leads to four main services provided: Competence visualization, education recommendation, education comparison and study guidance.
Competence visualization - there are certain competences acquired during the study process. These competences are usually described in the national curriculum and are at the core of the modern world of work and study. Although they are learnt and specified in documentation many students don't have enough information about them or maybe haven't even heard about them at all. Compleap service provides an opportunity to see clearly what competences have been studied during the study process in educational institution. Also what groups they make and what are the main or key competences as described by EU.
Education recommendation - education recommendations are calculated and based on similarity of content between user's profile data and education descriptions.
Education comparison - closest matches of between user's profile and education descriptions are presented to the user in ranking. Starting from the closest one to the less closer and so on. User can mark some recommendations as favorite and this way generate more suitable suggestion.
Study guidance - the whole service is seen as a study guidance and support for decision making. Information about own competences, previous experiences and interests are gathered in one place and presented in a user centered way to promote his reflection about studying possibilities. Education recommendation is provided not as a solution but as an encouragement for the person to think and reflect on his interest and future goals.
User is able to give feedback on the usefulness and accuracy of the the profile and education recommendations to further develop these services.
