Based on the SQI interface specification, the HCD Suite - a workforce development software developed by the ELENA consortium - connects several valuable knowledge repositories, ranging from course databases to the Amazon bookstore, providing corporate learners a unique possibility for chosing the best suitable learning resources. These are our main results.
