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
- backgroud here: https://edfi.atlassian.net/wiki/display/ESIG/Report+Out+-+Open+Source+Rules+Engine+and+Validation+API+SIG
- and here https://edfi.atlassian.net/wiki/display/ESIG/Ed-Fi+Data+Validation+Architecture
- Ed-Fi Data Checker (see Ed-Fi Exchange)
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
