Which BOK do you adhere to?

Canadian Information Technology Body of Knowledge (CITBOK) is the
project sponsored and undertaken by Canadian Information Processing
Society (CIPS) to define and outline the Body of Knowledge that
defines a Canadian Information Technology Professional.

CIPS recognizes that in order to strengthen the criteria of the
I.S.P. designation successfully while still maintaining high
standards, the association needs to develop a Canadian Information
Technology Body of Knowledge (CITBOK) that will set standards for
knowledge. The CITBOK is an outline of the knowledge bases that form
the intellectual basis for the IT profession. CIPS has identified a
core CITBOK that all professionals would be expected to master and
specialty bodies of knowledge that would depend on your area of
practice. When setting this Canadian standard for Information
Technology (IT) knowledge, CIPS looked to other organizations and
internationally for standards and bodies of knowledge that CIPS could
adopt or adapt, especially for the specialty areas. For example, in
2004, CIPS adopted the British Computer Society (BCS) Professional
Examination Study Guide Syllabus Diploma level (Core and 11
specialist modules) as the initial Body of Knowledge for CIPS.[1]

The CITBOK aims to:

be an industry structure model that can be used to define the set of
performance, training and development standards for all IT
practitioners (CIPS members and non-members) in Canada;
create alternate paths to certification based on concepts of CITBOK;
establish guidelines for accreditation criteria based on concepts of
CITBOK; and
create a professional development model that sets the standards
criteria for the knowledge base including knowledge, skills, and
professional activities for IT practitioners.

The Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK) is a product of
the Software Engineering Coordinating Committee. The IEEE Computer
Society is also involved.

The software engineering body of knowledge is an all-inclusive term
that describes the sum of knowledge within the profession of software
engineering. Since it is usually not possible to put the full body of
knowledge of even an emerging discipline, such as software
engineering, into a single document, there is a need for a Guide to
the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge. This Guide will seek to
identify and describe that subset of the body of knowledge that is
generally accepted, even though software engineers must be
knowledgeable not only in software engineering, but also, of course,
in other related disciplines. [1]
