SIF Implementation SpecificationNote: This information is taken from the TALL Desk Study VendorThe Schools Interoperability Framework (SIF) is a not-for-profit organisation of software vendors, school districts, state departments of education and other organisations active in primary and secondary (K-12) markets in the US.ContextSIF is working with IMS to share and utilise specifications. The SIF specification is a web service model. While it is not definitive, it would appear that SIF services should work in the context of the ELF. SIF is a flexible framework and can potentially contain a wide range of components making it a challenge to map against the ELF. As the SIF project develops, the overlap with the ELF should increase.RelevanceThis is a vendor-led initiative to try to make schools data interoperable. It will be significant to HEIs and FEIs in the area of checking qualifications and student profiles.Features not directly related to ELFNone identified. |
