Ed-Fi Technology Suite
Ed-Fi ODS / API Platform
The As the name implies, the Ed-Fi ODS / API Platform consists of an ODS (i.e., an Operational Data Store) and an API (ODS) i.e., an Application Programming Interface), plus features and data structures to administer and secure the solution.
The Ed-Fi ODS provides a secure, transactional information store that integrates data from multiple source systems and applications. The Ed-Fi API accompanies the Ed-Fi Operational Data Store and provides a developer-friendly interface to create, read, and update information stored in an Ed-Fi-powered ODS.
