ABSTRACT
A growing number of countries start to introduce computer science related topics in primary education, but their curricula or educational standards significantly differ in various aspects. This contribution introduces a way to analyze and compare curricula, education standards and competency models, using a graph-based representation form and several graph-theoretical metrics.
