Credentials
result
An Open Badges 3.0 field recording a scored outcome on a credential — present in LearnCoin credentials as display metadata, pending full signing once the LearnCoin context publishes.
Open Badges 3.0's credentialSubject.result is an optional array of scored outcomes for a credential. Each Result object references a ResultDescription (by IRI) and carries the actual value — a score, a grade, a competency level. Multiple results can appear in one credential (say, separate scores for written, practical, and oral components).
The Result / ResultDescription split follows the OB 3.0 pattern of distinguishing the class-level definition (ResultDescription on the Achievement) from the instance-level value (Result on the CredentialSubject). ResultDescriptions list possible score types, ranges, and rubric rows; Results reference them and populate the actual values.
In current LearnCoin credentials, result is not in the signed JSONLD — URDNA2015 safe-mode drops it against the OB 3.0 v3.0.3 context. It's present as display metadata on the verification page. Once the LearnCoin extension context publishes (schema.learncoin.me/v1/context.json), result becomes cryptographically committed.
