Forum .LRN Q&A: Response to What are user-profile and profile-provider?

Posted by Rafael Calvo on
I am looking at how something like this could be used to generate an "expertise database". This is what people in knowledge management call it when you can identify who is good in what, in an organization.
A profile would have a number of attributes that are "static" (contact details, date of birth, educational history) and some would be dynamic maybe provided as a service contract, as Yon suggests.

Is this what others are thinking? Any ideas?
