Notes

Demos of data mapping technologies that could serve as a locus of community collaboration

Education Analytics
Open source suite of tools for data mapping and landing data into Ed-Fi data model
GitHUB repositories

• Lightbeam
  GitHub - edanalytics/lightbeam: CLI tool for validating and transmitting payloads from JSONL files into an Ed-Fi API.

• Earthmover
  GitHub - edanalytics/earthmover: CLI tool for transforming collections of tabular source data into a variety of text-based data formats via YAML configuration and Jinja templates.

• Bundles
  GitHub - edanalytics/earthmover_edfi_bundles

Public Documentation for Mapping Approach: https://edanalytics.slite.page/p/CxcM2foMcOuk1m/Ed-Fi-Assessment-Integrations-using-earthmover-and-lightbeam-Documentation

• Python environment

• Single simple configuration

• Flexible with Ed-Fi data standard changes

• Template for writing bundle for assessment

• Branches correlating to each assessment

• Comment: Like to see the bundling mapping difference source files to different end point, Python, templates, developer focus Answer: toolkit created for developers who understand Ed-Fi and data mapping

• Question: Anything available for client-facing analysts?

  • Answer: Districts want documented data governance - iterating makes it difficult. Variability in partner requirements makes crystallized documentation difficult

• Make more visually appealing - Community can take template file and articulate

•  

ESP Solutions

• 2 tools : DataSpec and DataPortal

• Used as documentation tool for 7 state data collections

• Load data spec via Spreadsheet format

• Higher level and simpler tool as compared with EA tools

• A documentation tooling to allow stakeholder and end user to generate their own reports

• This is primarily a visual interface

• It is a governance framework for SEAs/LEAs to create a data governance documentation suite - dozens of templates to follow to create a governance plan.

Next Meeting:Nov 5, 2024

• Agenda item: Progress on Admin Console roadmap (Jason) - postpone to next meeting
