One reason may be the lack of prior examination of existing standards. These sometimes painful experiences led to the need for a catalogue of criteria to be used in infrastructure projects to assess suitability to the requirements. Against the National Education Infrastructure background, the paper presents an initial approach. For this purpose, criteria are developed, whose application enables a well-founded pre-selection of standards. These are discussed and tested exemplary in three use cases - educational offerings, educational resources, and digital credentials. An overview of current developments in the area accompanies this. Overall, the paper aims to provide a basis for further discussions on the selection and handling of standards in educational infrastructures. However, so far there is little literature on this highly relevant topic. Therefore, a discussion process in the community should be stimulated as a supplement.enmetadata standardsevaluation criteriaeducation infrastructureeducational offerseducational resourcesdigital credentialsText/Conference Paper10.18420/delfi2023-241617-5468
