The EXTENSION-Ed-Fi-Extended-Core.xsd file is created as follows:
...
...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- (c)2015 Ed-Fi Alliance, LLC. All Rights Reserved. -->
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://ed-fi.org/0200" targetNamespace="http://ed-fi.org/0200" elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified">
<xs:include schemaLocation="Ed-Fi-Core.xsd"/>
. . .
</xs:schema>The new enumeration type is created in the EXTENSION-Ed-Fi-Extended-Core.xsd file, as follows:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
. . .
<xs:annotation>
<xs:documentation>===== Enumerations =====</xs:documentation>
</xs:annotation>
<xs:simpleType name="EXTENSION-SubmissionCertificationType">
<xs:restriction base="xs:token">
<xs:enumeration value="Official"/>
<xs:enumeration value="Unofficial"/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
. . . |
Using this new type, the StudentAcademicRecord is extended as follows:
| Code Block | ||

The completed EXTENSION-Ed-Fi-Extended-Core.xsd file follows:

Step 5: Validate Extended Reference Types for External References.
The student transcript interchange is meant to be stand-alone, not requiring that the receiving system have any preloaded information. Thus any extended reference types used must have all of the information necessary for the receiving system.
...
- SchoolReference only includes the SchoolId. Since the enrollment data needs at least the school name, and perhaps city, it is necessary to include the School entity in the interchange.
- The GradingPeriodReference includes the GradingPeriod, BeginDate, EducationOrganizationReference, which includes the EducationOrganizationId; no additional information needed.
- Section reference for ProgramReference is optional and is not needed for the interchange.
- Course references for LearningStandardReference and LearningObjectiveReference are optional and are not needed for the interchange. The EducationOrganizationReference include the EducationOrganizationId; no additional information is needed.
- AssessmentReference includes AssessmentTitle, AcademicSubject, AssessedGradeLevel, and Version that are required to identify and label the test assessment. There is no need to include the Assessment entity.

6: Create the Interchange Schema File(s)
With the required entities and associations identified, the interchange schema file, EXTENSION-InterchangeHSGeneratedStudentTranscript-Extension.xsd, is created, including the EXTENSION- Ed-Fi-Extended-Core.xsd. As described earlier, an element is created for the interchange with an unbounded OR for each of the required complex types, as depicted below:
