ISO/IEC FDIS 29187-1

Description / Abstract: Statement of scope — ISO/IEC 29187 series

The ISO/IEC 29187 series focuses on the identification of privacy protection requirements which apply to any JTC 1/SC 36 ITLET standard or LET activity which involves the following:

a) the identification of an individual (e.g. as a learner or student, a teacher, professor, or instructor, an administrator, etc.), in the use and implementation of the JTC 1/SC 36 standard;

b) any standard which involves the recording of any information on or about an identifiable individual by any LET provider.

Statement of scope — this part of ISO/IEC 29187

This part of ISO/IEC 29187 identifies and summarizes principles governing privacy protection requirements which are generic in nature and applies them to the field of learning, education and/or training (LET). The LET transaction – Privacy Protection – Framework and Reference Model is learning transaction focused, rule-based, and conformant to the generic ISO/IEC Open-edi Reference Model. It maximizes re-use of existing ISO standards including applicable concepts and their definitions. LET privacy protection requirements are placed in the generic context of applicable public policy requirements, those pertaining to establishment and management of identities of an individual learner, as well as state changes and records retention requirements of personal information on or about an individual learner. This part of ISO/IEC 29187 also incorporates best practices and policies as have already been implemented in LET environments in support of privacy protection requirements.
