| Abstract: |
Just as the adoption of eXtensible Business Reporting Language has standardized the exchange, transmission, and reporting of accounting and financial data, this paper proposes the eXtensible Computing Curriculum Reporting Language as a standard for the exchange, transmission, and reporting of computing curriculum information in hopes of achieving semantic comparability among the descriptions of the computing disciplines. This specificity in the extension of eXtensible Business Reporting Language to the computing disciplines in the form of eXtensible Computing Curriculum Reporting Language acknowledges the nascent and emergent nature of computing and the need to reconcile, semantically, between uses of computing terminology and concepts to achieve clarity. This paper provides a brief background on eXtensible Business Reporting Language and demonstrates how the same concept may be applied in computing curriculum reporting. This paper is related to efforts to support the Computing Curricula 2020 initiative of the Association for Computing Machinery and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and represents the ongoing work of the Education Special Interest Group Standing Committee on Curricular Matters. |
