				<ccts:DictionaryEntryName>Competency Defintion. Detail</ccts:DictionaryEntryName>
				<ccts:DefinitionText>A structured description of meaning(s) or semantics associated with a one or more competencies. A Reusable Competency Definition (RCD) is reusable in that it is without a specific context.  Hierarchical competency taxomomies or non-hierarchical "maps" may be composed at an atomistic level of references to many RCDs. An RCD might represent a node at any given level of such a
				taxonomy. Thus, an RCD might be used for either course-grain competency "clusters" or fine-grain individual competencies.</ccts:DefinitionText>
				<ccts:UsageRule>The RCD concept is important for 
				simplifying HR transactions. The basic idea is that full definitional
				content does not have to be communicated within each transaction. Instead
				of passing the full content, identifiers are exchanged referencing definitions that are known
				or discoverable by the trading partner.</ccts:UsageRule>
