Goal

This special interest group (SIG) has a few goals:

  • Provide an initial content for data model collaboration for education agencies, including suggestions/proposals for the core data model and sharing of extension models.  
  • Provide a context to discuss other ODS/API technologies or information to support the community and agencies in the move to Ed-Fi Suite 3.
  • Provide a current stream of technical and related information for agencies interested in moving to Ed-Fi Suite 3.
This SIG is a bit different from most SIGs in that membership is open to any agencies wanting to participate. To participate, please contact Sayee.Srinivasan@ed-fi.org
