Data Science Body of Knowledge (DS-BoK)

This document presents initial results of the Data Science Body of Knowledge (DS-BoK) definition that is linked to and based on the Data Science Competence Framework described in another document. The presented DS- BoK definition is based on overview and analysis of existing bodies of knowledge that are relevant to intended frameworks for Data Science and required to fulfil identified in CF-DS competences and skills.

Data Science Competence Framework (CF-DS)

The definition of the Data Science Competence Framework (CF-DS) is a cornerstone component of the whole framework. CF-DS will provide a basis for the Data Science Body of Knowledge (DS-BoK) and Model Curriculum (MC-DC) definitions, and further for the Data Science Professional Profiles definition and certification. The CFDS is defined in compliance with the European e-Competence Framework (e-CF3.0) and provides suggestions for e-CF3.0 extension with the Data Science related competences and skills.

Data Science Professional Profiles (DSPP)

The intended framework comprising of the mentioned above components will provide a guidance and a basis for universities to define their Data Science curricula and courses selection, on one hand, and for companies to better define a set of required competences and skills for their specific industry domain in their search for Data Science talents, on the other hand.

Data Science Model Curriculum (MC-DS)

The presented Data Science Model Curriculum is a part of the Data Science Framework (EDSF) providing a foundation for the Data Science profession definition. The EDSF includes the following core components: Data Science Competence Framework (CF-DS), Data Science Body of Knowledge (DS-BoK), Data Science Model Curriculum (MC-DS), and Data Science Professional Profiles definition (DSPP).
