Ed-Fi API Specifications
Resource API
The Ed-Fi Unifying Data Model(UDM) provides the basis for the data transferred and manipulated by an Ed-Fi REST API implementation. The Ed-Fi UDM is a structured, conceptual model of common K–12 education data. The model includes entities that are easily recognized by educators and administrators: schools, students, teachers, attendance, grades, assessment results, and many others. These entities contain attributes (i.e., properties) that are also easily recognized. For example, assessment results contain data, such as a score and the date the assessment was administered. The UDM also includes associations (i.e., relationships) between entities, such as the association between students and schools.
