Abstract

Techniques described herein relate to receiving multiple sources of verified data associated with a digital credential receiver, and mapping the digital credential receiver to one or more data field data objects based on analyses of the verified data. In some embodiments, a digital credential platform server may analyze the various data sources associated with the digital credential receiver, in order to determine and calculate correlation scores between the digital credential receiver and various field data objects. A combination of analyses and/or comparisons may be used between the credential receiver data and the corresponding retrieved from field data objects, such as the digital credential objects earned by the credential receiver, the credential receiver's verified evaluation records, and/or the career phase of the digital credential receiver.

transmitting a second notification to an owner associated with the selected field data object, wherein the second notification identifies the correlation metric for the selected field data object but does not identify the credential receiver.

9 . A method of determining correlation metrics between field data objects and credential receivers, the method comprising:

receiving, by a digital credential platform server, a request to match a first credential receiver to one or more field data objects;

retrieving by the digital credential platform server, data associated with the first credential receiver, including data identifying one or more digital credentials issued to the first credential receiver;

retrieving and analyzing, by the digital credential platform server, a plurality of field data objects stored in a data structure;

selecting, by the digital credential platform server, a first subset of the plurality of field data objects correlating to the first credential receiver, wherein the first subset of field data objects is selected based on a correlation analysis between the one or more digital credentials issued to the first credential receiver and a plurality of characteristics of the plurality of field data objects;

for each particular field data object of the selected first subset of field data objects, determining, by the digital credential platform server, a correlation metric between the particular field data object and the first credential receiver; and

transmitting, by the digital credential platform server, data identifying the correlation metric for each of the selected first subset of field data objects, in response to the request.
