I am an information management consultant, running my own 'husband and wife' company: APS Ltd. I am a member of the team that created and developed XCRI and XCRI-CAP. I work with education providers and course information collecting organisations across the country, advising on XCRI implementation, in addition to assisting in the briefing of government, EU and other partners.

Do you have any data specifications or other information about the data content that is included in your XCRI-CAP feeds or files? I’m trying to collect as many data specs as possible for the many organisations that are using XCRI-CAP, so that we can start to construct draft data specifications for 'communities of practice'. This will help to avoid inconsistencies between XCRI-CAP feeds and will make it much easier for aggregators to consume the data efficiently.

The original XCRI schema, release 1.0, which covered all types of courses information, had been hosted on the eFramework website for many years. This website is no longer available, so the schema has been moved the XCRI Knowledge Base. No background information to the schema is available yet. See http://www.xcri.co.uk/schemas/xcri_r1.0.xsd.
It's also worth noting here that it's being used successfully in the CUMULUS project.
