I just came across Ed-Fi and thought the
EDM<http://educationaldatamining.org>and
Educoder <http://educoder.github.com> communities may be interested in
helping shape the specification. It seems similar to Learning
Registry<http://www.learningregistry.org>.
Anyone on these lists making use of these student data standards?

> The Ed-Fi solution includes an XML-based data specification combined with
> a free tool suite developed by the Michael & Susan Dell
> Foundation<http://www.msdf.org/> to
> improve student achievement in the K-12 education sector. The Ed-Fi
> solution extracts student information from a variety of educational data
> systems, and then standardizes, integrates and communicates it to educators
> and other parties through Web-based dashboards, reports and other
> applications.
> The Ed-Fi solution equips educators with actionable insights, so they can
> then make informed decisions on steps to improve the academic outcomes of
> students. School and district administrators, state, and federal agencies
> can also use this information as a supplement or replacement for broader
> state or federal accountability reporting purposes.
