Abstract: Transmitting digital definitions of skills at a computing system to allow the digital definitions skills to be interoperable with other computing systems. The method includes identifying a skill name for a skill. The method further includes contextualizing the skill name for a specific system or use case by creating and storing metadata associated with the skill name. The method further includes publishing the contextualized skill at a predetermined network location, in a standardized digital format allowing for interoperability with other computing systems, wherein publishing comprises providing an active network link to the contextualized skill.
