The prototype 'skills passport' looks fantastic to me, and I am duly awed by the technological wizardry.
The 'Project Log' bit looks good for field projects only - it might be worth either changing the 'site name' heading or expanding the entries to allow a record of project type, and 'role performed' might be better than 'position held'.
I can see two key uses for this kind of document:
1 - to demonstrate to employers that you hold the skills they have defined as essential or desirable for a particular job;
2 - it could be used to demonstrate skills/experience as part of the validation process for institutional memberships (e.g. IFA grades).
The only real issue is that employers, when recruiting, want to look a short CV (ones that are too long often get binned). However, this could be used to back-up/validate the claims made in the CV, particularly at the 'shortlist' stage.
