A key activity for XCRI is the development of an XML specification,
the XCRI Course Advertising Profile (or XCRI-CAP for short).
Learning providers can publish their courses information in the standard
XCRI-CAP format, so that it can be collected easily by organisations with
course search services such as UCAS. Opening up the offerings of learning
providers creates new possibilities for value-added services and information channels for universities, colleges, and training providers.
