Croatian Qualification Framework - Data Model and Software Implementation in higher education

Project "Politehnika 2025" was started by Tehnicko veleuciliste u Zagrebu in cooperation with APIS IT, IN2 GRUPA and SPAN companies. The goal was to analyze future market needs until year 2025 and to upgrade existing and to develop new study programs that would modernize polytechnic studies. Project success depended on collecting and analyzing a large amount of data, and to do that it was required to develop appropriate information system. That included to create a conceptual database model and later to write applications that would allow all project participants to work with data. The goal of this paper is to describe database model and its parts, all applications used in the process of gathering and reviewing data and their features. Information system was one of the key elements of the project since without it the project would not be able to complete in desired period and its results may be prone to errors.
