Central message:

E-portfolio’s (par example Europass) offer citizens /students the opportunity to be the owner of their own data (including diplomas).

User Centric: The citizen/student is the central chain: he is owner and therefore responsible for his own data.

E-portfolio = Personal Data Store

Standardization is essential!

Worldwide!

Collectively the documents form a portfolio.
