Key Questions and Topics
• What are common education data standards and why do we need CEDS?
• Developing CEDS: Who & How?
• How might CEDS be used and what does it provide?
• What might this mean for AACRAO members?

CEDS Logical Data Model
Comprised of 2 distinct views2 distinct views:• Domain Entity Schema (DES)
• Hierarchy of domains, entities, attribute categories, and attributes organizing and assigning elements to specific entities
• Used primarily as an index to search, map, and organize elements
• Normalized Data Schema (NDS)• Provides standard framework for integration of P-20 data
systems through a well-normalized “operational data store”
• Factors the entities and attributes of the DES with standard technical syntax and 3rd normal form
![Page 29: 2012 AACRAO Transfer Conference July 2, 2012](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051622/56814f4e550346895dbcf22c/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Linking Current Efforts to CEDS
• Federal Reporting (IPEDS)
• SLDS and other Student Unit Record Databases
• Institution Data Sharing
• Metrics Efforts
![Page 38: 2012 AACRAO Transfer Conference July 2, 2012](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051622/56814f4e550346895dbcf22c/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
What CEDS May Be Able to Do for Institutions• Improve accuracyaccuracy of IPEDS reporting
• Improve comparabilitycomparability when sharing and comparing data with others (e.g., files to state systems, peer data-sharing, K-12 to your university and back)
• Help with development development of data definitions and data warehouses within your institution (can reference CEDS to understand official data reported about the institution)
![Page 39: 2012 AACRAO Transfer Conference July 2, 2012](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051622/56814f4e550346895dbcf22c/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
IPEDS Application
• Being developed to allow institutions to submit IPEDS surveys directly from database based on CEDS standards• Data entered in database from which
file will be uploaded to IPEDS collection site• Initially for small institutions and for
Enrollment and Completions Surveys but could be expanded

Answering critical questions requires sharing limited data across transitional boundariesEarly Childhood K-12 Postsecondary Workforce
Which preschool programs best prepare students for kindergarten?
Do high school graduates require postsecondary remediation?
What industries are employing high school and college graduates?
How successful are college graduates in the workforce by major or credential?
What is the graduation rate by high school?
![Page 46: 2012 AACRAO Transfer Conference July 2, 2012](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051622/56814f4e550346895dbcf22c/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Tackling those challenges requires clear, consistent data Interoperability and portability of data
across multiple data systems
Common understanding of what those data mean on both sides of the exchange
Confidence in the comparability of data from different systems
Appropriate data must be able to flow efficiently and effectively across data
systems
![Page 47: 2012 AACRAO Transfer Conference July 2, 2012](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051622/56814f4e550346895dbcf22c/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
