Vocabulary Questions…

• Is there a concept in an xAPI Profile that I can use?
• If there is an existing verb, is the context correct for my usage?
• Is there a community of practice for my industry?
• If I need to create a verb, is there an existing template with a community of
practice to create the verb?
• If no community of practice, is there an industry group that can help set the
vocabulary?

6.
Objects…
• What type of object will I need?
• Do I need to refer to another statement with the object?
• Does the object relate to an activity type?
• Is there a consistent vocabulary that needs to be defined for the
object?
