Expanding Date Support in Ed-Fi Technology

Overview

The Ed-Fi Alliance is investigating approaches to enhancing Ed-Fi technology to provide expanded support for use cases related to historical data. The requirements are being detailed out in two distinct – but related – threads of work: (a) adding dates to the Ed-Fi Unifying Data Model, and (b) adding temporal support in the Ed-Fi ODS/API. The document in the right panel provides additional details.

This "Dates SIG" has been established to gather Ed-Fi stakeholder input and feedback aimed at refining requirements for these efforts. 

Expected participation includes reviewing material circulated to the group, participating in a minimum of three webinars, and providing feedback to the Alliance. The anticipated dates for the SIG meetings are provided below, and materials to be discussed in the webinars will be circulated beforehand. Additional webinars may be scheduled if further discussion is required.
