Have you looked into how educational metadata systems handle this - eg
http://www.chin.gc.ca/English/Standards/metadata_educational.html
http://www.dublincore.org/groups/education/
http://docs.google.com/View?docid=dn8z3gs_44gfmxc7

Characterising expertise is quite tricky, and those communities have
probably the best oversight into approaches that will tie in with
educational materials, education policies, qualification frameworks
etc. I'm afraid I don't have a good summary / overview at the moment
though.
