Notes

I. Updates

  • End of TAG year; refresh TAG membership in March/April by open application.

II. Data validation and data quality - current and future roadmap

Current state data quality efforts:

  • SEA use case reviewed (see canonical architecture image).
  • Some variation in how databases are split, how validations are performed, etc.

Validations API

  • background materials can be found here: Validation API - original presentation from 2018 Technical Congress
  • agreement on the potential value to this by TAG members, generally bringing validation closer to the source
  • needs filtering/authorization to accommodate multi-tenant systems

Open Source rules Engine

III. Soliciting interest in Data Import Design reviews 

  • Asking TAG & data import users to provide inputs to design in Tech Docs: Ed-Fi Technical Designs- Data Import
  • Several TAG members agreed to join subgroup
  • Side note on the tech -- interest n the notion that the output of data import can be stored as json packets in a data lake before edfi injest. Response: There is intent to bring this work (done for the back to school dashboard) into the core Data Import tool. @jason - let's touch on this next week as well?

IV. "Joining data from heterogeneous systems / record ownership" - Next Steps 

  • If SIS is not the source system, issue with record ownership when data is transferred from different systems.
  • Managing security and authorization a problem area as well
  • Not enough time to cover - cover at next meeting

Next meeting: Thursday 1/21/2021, 3:00-4:15pm CT

  • Jim - add a ping for multi-tenancy discussion
