What isCEDS?
What is CEDS?• A national collaborative effort to develop voluntary, common data standards for a key set of education data elements
Voluntary Common Vocabulary
• A vocabulary including standard definitions, option sets & technical specifications to streamline sharing and comparing
Why do we need CEDS?1.Accurate, timely, and consistent data
to inform decisionmaking
2.Share & compare high quality data within & across P-20 sectors
Required
A data collection
A federal unit record system
Solely an ED undertaking
All or nothing
An implementation
CEDSis Not:
CEDS:How &Who?
How do we get it done?• Assemble stakeholders representing
the field• Use existing sources of standards• Check alignment with the field• Review ideas with the public• Model elements• Place in tools• Release

CEDS Logical Data ModelComprised of 2 distinct views:• Domain Entity Schema (DES)
• A hierarchy of domains, entities, attribute categories, and attributes organizing and assigning elements to specific entities
• Used primarily by people as an index to search, map, and organize elements
• Normalized Data Schema (NDS)• The NDS Logical Model provides a standard framework for
integration of P-20 data systems through a well-normalized “operational data store”
• NDS factors the entities and attributes of the DES with standard technical syntax and 3rd normal form
