Alignment — CannaTech Badges may include URLs that point to the official description of the target of the alignment. For example, a badge may be aligned to a competency or academic standard published in an external framework. 

Criteria — CannaTech Badges can contain detailed information about the requirements needed to earn the badge. 

Endorsements — CannaTech Badges can contain endorsements (claims of support made by third-parties) regarding BadgeClasses, Assertions, or Issuers. For example, a professional association might endorse an educational institution’s badge offering (BadgeClass), or an internship supervisor might endorse an Assertion issued to an intern related to workplace professionalism.

Multi-lingual — CannaTech Badges can use tags to declare the language in which the badge object is written. Additionally, issuers that want to offer the same badge in different languages can list those equivalent versions. Finally, developers who wish to write code in a language other than English can build a JSON-LD context file in their preferred language and then encounter badge property names familiar to them and their teams.

Revocation — CannaTech Badges may be revoked by issuers, if necessary. The revocation method required differs depending on whether the assertion is a hosted or signed assertion. 

Verification — Metadata about the badge, recipient, and issuer are verifiable using one of two available verification methods. Verification of hosted assertions entails calling the stable URI of the assertion and BadgeClass, checking that they exist, and ensuring the domain origins match or are explicitly allowed. For assertions that are digitally signed (JWS), verification uses the public key to carry out a verification check
