SIS API V3 Certification Use Cases
Document Purpose
Provide a resource to community members for understanding the educational use cases that underpin Ed-Fi SIS API v3 certification.
Audience
Agencies, vendors, local education agency collaboratives, and implementation partners
Background and Description
Ed-Fi certification represents an agreement between agency customers and vendor providers. This agreement comprises:
a scope of data
API specifications
compatibility with current data standard and technology suite versions
additional normative requirements on system interaction
adherence to general best practices
their connection to solving for high value use cases the community has defined and prioritized together.
The resulting certification requirements are intended to form a clear, well-defined, and executable ask of vendors by agencies. For vendors, certification defines capabilities to build into their products for replicable and high-quality integrations across the K12 community and ecosystem.
