XCRI
XCRI stands for eXchanging Course Related Information, and the XCRI Course Advertising Profile (XCRI-CAP) is an information model, supported by an XML specification, used to share information about courses between UK education institutions and aggregators such as UCAS and other sites that advertise courses.
XCRI is developed by a community-based group with no formal membership processes, similar to initiatives such as Microformats. The infrastructure of its communications (website, forum and wiki) is run by JISC-CETIS and funded by Jisc.
