CEDS Extend

To facilitate the growing demand for the incorporation of data definitions from other efforts that have not yet been adopted into CEDS but are relevant to specific data systems and education data discussions, the CEDS website has expanded to include a repository of metadata from other efforts. This initial effort includes merging the properties of the NCES Handbooks into Extend, a searchable database of properties.

This repository includes the properties of several other standard and interoperability efforts including:

• NCES Handbooks/Forum
• SIF 3.2 (and properties added in SIF 3.3)
• PESC High school Transcript
• PESC College Transcript
• PESC NSLDS Enrollment Reporting
• PESC Admissions Applications
• Ed-Fi 2.0

How to find Extend Properties:

• Property Search Tool: When searching and viewing CEDS properties by name users may choose to "Search Extend Properties" to expand your search to include the Extend properties.
• Domain Entity Schema: When using the drill down function of the Domain Entity Schema users may choose "Extend Your Search" to see the Extend properties.
• Downloads: Users may choose "Include Extend Properties in Download" when using the new Excel dynamic download tool.
