#2 Use Case Updates

David Clements gave an update on the use case work. Ed-Fi developed A Practical Guide to Interoperability Use Cases in 2018 which was more industry focused.  Ed-Fi also had use cases aligned to dashboards which have now been moved from within Ed-Fi’s portfolio to community support. We are focusing on the dashboard based use cases.

The current use cases are focused on the user persona and what they are trying to accomplish and why. They are being organized into a library structured in big categories, including resource requirements that are linked to API references - what is needed to satisfy the use case.  

This gives us an opportunity to discuss what needs to be changed, and what is common across the community and can be updated with new information over time.

Goal is to define the common needs – there’s a lot of use cases across the standards and these need to be curated re what is important to the community.

Working on this to:

1. Use on data standard side (such as help within HR and finance data discussion)

2. Use it to define and better update certification process based on community needs

3. Use it on the data-out side – discuss the usage to handle downstream interoperability (put into action to be kept fresh and move forward)

Will you come back to Use cases that map to different standards – now people get easily confused? Original use cases in the original document are referenced in the new work as well – still exist as use cases.

• Will check on whether this information exists within Project Unicorn. 

From an internal perspective this may be helpful to go through – want to play to our strengths and not walk into other organizations’ strengths. Should be able to develop the current work and use with discussions with other standards organizations.

A recent publication may be helpful: Education to Workforce Indicators  https://www.mathematica.org/publications/education-to-workforce-indicator-framework-using-data-to-promote-equity-and-economic-security#:~:text=The%20Education%2Dto%2DWorkforce%20Indicator,K%2Dto%2Dworkforce%20continuum. This is a reference tool that creates a connection across PW20 spectrum.

Part of the Community of Education is working to publish information on and leverage communication with different standards body. CCSSO is a good third-party participant in this space for recommendations on standards organizations working together.

#3 Deep Dive Discussion: Market Background and Trends
