1 Preamble

1.1 Abstract

1.1.1 What is SIF?

The Schools Interoperability Framework (SIF) is not a product, but a technical blueprint for enabling diverse applications to interact and share data related to entities in the pK-12 instructional and administrative environment. SIF is designed to:

The SIF Implementation Specification defines:

These are known collectively as the SIF Infrastructure. The SIF Implementation Specification also defines the SIF Data Model:

A SIF Zone is a distributed system that consists of a ZIS and one or more software applications with a SIF Agent (a SIF-enabled application) sharing/reporting one or more SIF data objects over a network. A SIF Implementation consists of one or more SIF Zones deployed and configured to meet customer data sharing and reporting needs.

The SIF Implementation Specification defines architecture requirements and communication protocols for software components and the interfaces between them; it makes no assumption of specific hardware or sofware products needed to develop SIF-enabled applications and Zone Integration Server implementations, other than their ability to support technologies leveraged as the foundation for SIF, most prominently XML and HTTP(S).

1.1.2 Schools Interoperability Framework Association

The Schools Interoperability Framework Association (SIFA) is an industry initiative to enable interoperability and data sharing between software applications in the pK-12 instructional and administrative environment, and the forum for companies and educators to participate in the development of SIF specifications in SIFA's working groups and task forces. SIFA is designed to:

1.3 Certification and Compliance Claims

Though a product may be demonstrated to comply with this specification, no product may be designated as SIF Certified™ by an organization or individual until the product has been tested against and passed established compliance criteria, published separately [SIFCertification]. Organizations and individuals that are currently paying annual membership dues to SIFA and dedicating resources to the initiative may also use the designation SIF Participant to describe their involvement with SIFA and SIF in marketing, public relations and other materials.
