Contains one of the SIF message types. The version of the SIF Implementation Specification that defines this message's XML structure. For this version of the specification, the value of this attribute is 2.3. This attribute can be used by ZIS and agent implementations to choose schema files to validate the message's XML. Header information associated with a message. SIF_MsgId is a globally unique message identifier from the Agent or ZIS that sends out the message. Timestamp of when the message was sent. The SIF_SourceId is the ID of the originator of the message. Each source needs to have a zone unique case-sensitive identifier. This element represents the ID of the recipient of the message and may be present as follows: The minimum level of encryption required by the message originator to be considered a secure channel upon message delivery to other agents. No encryption required Symmetric key length of at least 40 bits is to be used Symmetric key length of at least 56 bits is to be used Symmetric key length of at least 80 bits is to be used Symmetric key length of at least 128 bits is to be used The minimum level of authentication required by the message originator to be considered a secure channel upon message delivery to other agents. No authentication required and a valid certificate does not need to be presented. A valid certificate must be presented. A valid certificate from a trusted certificate authority must be presented. A valid certificate from a trusted certificate authority must be presented and the CN field of the certificate's Subject entry must match the host sending the certificate. A list of SIF contexts that applies to a message or operation. Typically where used as an optional element, the omission of this element implies the SIF_Default context applies.

It contains the https or http URL for contacting the agent. Property name. Property value. The type of protocol to use (HTTPS, HTTP or an implementation-defined protocol). Whether the protocol provides a secure channel. This element is used to signal a successful response. An optional textual description/equivalent of SIF_Code. Optional element to hold data related to a successful operation. This data is currently limited to a SIF_Message returned by the ZIS in response to a Pull-Mode Agent's SIF_GetMessage, SIF_AgentACL returned by the ZIS in response to SIF_Register and SIF_GetAgentACL, and SIF_ZoneStatus returned by the ZIS in response to SIF_GetZoneStatus. This element is used to signal an unsuccessful response. See Error Codes. A simple, easy to understand, description of the error. The primary consumer of this message is the application user. Example: "Unable to open database." An optional error description that is more complete and technical in nature. It is to be used as a diagnostic message in trouble-shooting procedures. Example: "The 'Students' table is opened in exclusive mode by user 'ADM1' (dbm.cpp, line 300)." SIF's default query mechanism. Individual elements/attributes being requested of matching object. See SIF_Element Syntax below. If specified, only the elements/attributes requested are returned in the SIF_Response (with any parent elements/attributes); otherwise, all elements supported by the provider's object are returned. The actual name of the object that is being queried for. This is the element/attribute being queried. See below for syntax. The comparison operator for the condition. Equals Less Than Greater Than Less Than Or Equals Greater Than Or Equals Not Equals SIF_Value is the data that is used to compare with the value of the element or attribute. The boolean operator for joining conditions (SIF_Condition elements) within this element. Note that None should be used if there is only one SIF_Condition element. The Boolean operator for joining conditions (SIF_Conditions elements) within this element. Note that None should be used if there is only one SIF_Conditions element. An example SIF object that serves as a template for matching objects. There is an implied EQ operator for every element/attribute value present and an implied And group of all resulting conditions. Currently this is an experimental feature and limited to use with select objects; wider use may be considered in future versions of this specification. SIF's default query mechanism for SIF_Request, SIF_Query, has several limitations that limit its usefulness when creating reporting applications that process data from a SIF zone. SIF_Query is limited to matching only one object type per query, requiring applications to manually join together results as needed for reporting and general data processing. SIF_ExtendedQuery is designed to allow for joins on object identifiers/RefIds and to allow retrieval of data in a row/column fashion similar to SQL. Each returned column may contain hierarchical XML elements/objects. While envisioned as the primary mechanism for SIF-based ReportManifests, Providers and Responders in a Zone may support SIF_ExtendedQuery in addition to SIF_Query. Support for SIF_ExtendedQuery can be declared in and retrieved from the Zone is various Infrastructure messages and objects. If no SIF_DestinationId applies to the request and this element is supplied, the Requester specifies that the extended query be routed to the Provider on record for the given object name. If this element is omitted and no SIF_DestinationId applies to the request, the ZIS routes the request to the Provider on record for the object name in SIF_From. Indicates the element/attribute to return as a column. Contents can be left empty to return the whole object specified in ObjectName, or * can be designated to return all attributes and immediate child elements of the object specified in ObjectName, or SIF_Element Syntax can be specified, relative to the object specified in ObjectName. Requested attributes are to be returned as the text value of the corresponding attribute, elements as a copy of the XML element itself including attributes if they exist. Optional caption for the column. The name of the object from which to retrieve element/attributes. Specifies whether query results should return all rows (false) or just distinct ones (true). Rows are distinct if at least one column differs between them. The maximum number of rows to return. If All, return all rows, otherwise return the top rows up to the maximum row count indicated. Specifies the left-side element/attribute on which to constrain the join. Currently only support for keys/RefIds/RefId references is required. Name of the object that contains the element/attribute. Specifies right left-side element/attribute on which to constrain the join. Currently only support for keys/RefIds/RefId references is required. Name of the object that contains the element/attribute. Type of relational join. The name of the object to query. This is the element/attribute being queried. The name of the object containing the element/attribute. The comparison operator for the condition. Equals Less Than Greater Than Less Than Or Equals Greater Than Or Equals Not Equals SIF_Value is the data that is used to compare with the value of the element or attribute. The boolean operator for joining conditions (SIF_Condition elements) within this element. Note that None should be used if there is only one SIF_Condition element. The Boolean operator for joining conditions (SIF_Conditions elements) within this element. Note that None should be used if there is only one SIF_Conditions element. Indicates the element/attribute by which to sort. The name of the object containing the element/attribute. Whether to order the element/attribute in ascending or descending order.

The object in which the element/attribute occurs. The caption for the column, if specified in SIF_ExtendedQuery. Contains the value of each column specified in SIF_ExtendedQuery/SIF_Select. The order of the columns must correspond to the order of the elements as requested in SIF_ExtendedQuery. Note the number of columns may be expanded from the requested columns if * is indicated one or more times in the SIF_Select clause. This message is used as an acknowledgement to an infrastructure message. The SIF_SourceId of the infrastructure message for which the SIF_Ack serves as a response. The SIF_MsgId of the infrastructure message for which the SIF_Ack message serves as a response. SIF_Event is used to deliver event objects as defined in SIF. Contains the actual object (partial or whole) that is being added, changed or deleted. This is the name of the object being added, changed or deleted. This is the action associated with the object that is being conveyed by this SIF_Event. The SIF_Provide message is used for advertising the provision of data objects. Whether or not the Agent supports SIF_ExtendedQuery for this object. The actual name of the object that is being provided. Once registered, this message allows an agent to announce to the ZIS the functionality the agent will provide. The ZIS compares the functionality to its access control list and either returns a failure or a success. Upon success, the ZIS performs an atomic update of its provide/subscribe database entries for the agent to match the objects listed in this message and atomically updates other stored settings for the agent. A ZIS must not allow an agent to perform operations that it did not successfully announce. Agents should be aware that if the access control list changes after a successful SIF_Provision, some operations may still be rejected with access control errors. Whether or not SIF_ExtendedQuery is supported with regard to this object. The name of each object. The name of each object. The name of each object. The name of each object. The name of each object.

Agents may optionally follow the more restrictive guidelines at [FAVICON]. SIF_Request is used to request information in SIF data objects from other SIF nodes. Specifies which SIF Implementation Specification version should be used when returning the response data; wildcards are allowed. The responding agent SHOULD return data using the highest version it supports that falls within the specified versions. Specifies the maximum size of a response packet to be returned to the requester. The responder may return packets smaller than, or equal to, the maximum value. To guarantee delivery of response packets, requesting agents must not specify a SIF_MaxBufferSize greater than its registered SIF_Register/SIF_MaxBufferSize. SIF_Response is used to respond to a SIF_Request message. This is the message ID of the SIF_Request message being processed. It provides a unique match between a SIF_Response and a previous SIF_Request. Since the ID of each message from an agent is unique, the receiver of a SIF_Response message will be able to relate the SIF_Response to a SIF_Request that it sent out previously. This element represents the index of the SIF_Response message in the sequence of packets that make up a complete response. Its value must be in the range of 1 through n, with n equal to the total number of packets that make up a response. This element provides an indication as to whether there are more packets besides this one to make up a complete response. The SIF_ObjectData element contains the data objects matching the supplied criteria in the SIF_Request message if the SIF_Request contained SIF_Query.

The actual name of the object that is being subscribed to. All valid SIF_Events for this object will be routed to the subscriber. This message is designed to control the flow of data an agent and ZIS or vice-versa, and to synchronously retrieve data available from the ZIS. This element holds the sub-message being sent. This sub-message detects if an a Push-Mode Agent or ZIS is ready to receive and process messages. This sub-message tells a receiver not to send any more messages to the sender. This message tells a receiver that the sender is able to process messages. This message tells the ZIS to return the first available message to the agent, subject to Selective Message Blocking. This message tells the ZIS to return the current SIF_ZoneStatus in a SIF_Ack. This message tells the ZIS to return the Agent's ACL permissions in a SIF_Ack. This sub-message asks a receiver (ZIS or Push-Mode Agent) to cancel the specified SIF_Requests, pending or in process. ZIS will send a "final" SIF_Response for each cancelled SIF_Request. No further SIF_Responses for these requests will be placed in the Agent's queue. This is the This message performs the opposite function of SIF_Provide. The actual name of the object that is being removed. This message is used to unregister an agent from a Zone. This message is used to unsubscribe from SIF_Events.

Department, office, or subdivision of the agency/report authority. Level of the authority. Information on the contact person in this agency. The unique identifier for this agency/report authority. This object is an envelope used to send other data objects, typically reports, to authorities such as state departments of education, district offices, other schools, etc. It is also used to signal a data collector agent that a report is compiled and ready to be requested. SIF_ReportObject contains a data object, which is either complete or partial (a partial data object is one that contains a subset of the elements for the data object). One or a series of SIF_ReportObjects contained within one or a series of related SIF_Response messages makes up a complete report. The date on which the report was calculated. A number that identifies the submission; beginning at 1 and incremented each time a submission is done for a particular report; used to indicate resubmission(s). Reason for the report submission. If the submitter is described by another SIF data object such as a SchoolInfo or LEAInfo instance, this element references that object by RefId. The name of a SIF data object. When used in the context of ReportSubmitterInfo, this attribute must have one of the following values.

This element or ReportInfo or SIF_ExtendedQueryResults is included but never at the same time. See examples of the usage of the object below. The report content resulting from a SIF_ExtendedQuery-based report. This element is conditional. This element or ReportInfo or ReportData is included but never at the same time. The ID (GUID) that uniquely identifies this instance of a report. This object provides a mechanism for requesting and updating state student identifiers. While communicated using SIF's request/response model, this object is an exception case in terms of how it interacts especially with SIF's query mechanisms (e.g. one wouldn't request certain elements be returned from StudentLocator). The use of this object is dictated by external use cases and best practices. Confidence score. The main use of this element is when IdStatus equals "Ambiguous" and the state returns one or more* candidate matches. The interpretation is that the information populated in each returned object matches the information in the request to the extent expressed in this score. The matching/scoring algorithms (and resultant values) are defined by the particular state. This is the requesting agency's unique ID for the student. Requesting agency's local zone GUID of the student's StudentPersonal object. Identification of the agency and/or location requesting the state ID. Optional because the SIF Zone infrastructure may provide adequate information for the state to ascertain the origin of the request. The functional level of the requesting agency. Educational Services Agency Local Educational Agency (District) The student's current grade level. Social security number of the student. Demographic information about the student. This will typically be the core matching information. Privacy considerations may mean that it is filled differently here than it might be in a local StudentPersonal, but it must include enough to drive the state's matching algorithms. An other ID associated with the contact. Highest level of education completed by the contact. For Requests, this should match StudentSchoolEnrollment/EntryDate. Begin date for a range that is being requested. Note: In most cases this will correspond to the school entry date. End date for a range that is being requested. Note: In most cases this will correspond to the school exit date. Indicates the date the student graduated—Year, Year and Month, or Year, Month and Day may be specified. Intended to facilitate locating students that may not be currently enrolled in a school or district, particularly in the context of locating student identifiers for initiating a request for a student's academic record. Supplied date values may often be approximations made by the entity endeavoring to request a student's academic record. The name of the school last attended by the student. The location of the school last attended by the student (e.g. city or county name, district name, etc.). Additional student identifier not represented elsewhere in StudentLocator (e.g. the driver's license number of the student). When IdStatus is set to Error, this element provides details about the error. Rather than the specification defining a list of possible error categories and codes for StudentLocator transactions, the SIF_Category and SIF_Code elements may contain values defined by the application that is responding to the StudentLocator request. It is recommended the requester convey these values in log files or error reports, along with the SIF_Desc and optional SIF_ExtendedDesc elements. SIF_Metadata/TimeElement may be specified as metadata of a StudentLocator SIF_Request to indicate a time duration to which the request parameters apply (as opposed to adding new elements to the StudentLocator object). This metadata may be supplied by systems that know a student existed in a district during a certain time period (e.g. a system initiating a student record exchange). If the responder is able to make use of the metadata, it may do so to narrow down the student look-up; otherwise the metadata can be ignored or logged. Communicates the orchestration status for the object. GUID that allows requesters and responders to refer to the same logical StudentLocator "transaction" over more than one SIF_Request/SIF_Response exchange. This object captures an occurrence within a SIF node (ZIS or agent)—error, warning or information—for storage in an optionally provided zone log. SIF_LogEntry Adds are reported and are used to post new log entries to the provider of the log. Of course, subscribing agents may also filter incoming Adds as part of their own logging mechanism. Any Change or Delete SIF_Events should be ignored at the agent level, but should be routed by the ZIS (though this should not be necessary). Use of the log is optional and voluntary, except where noted as mandatory in this specification. Nodes may post as much or as little log data as required with the expectation that if there is a provider of SIF_LogEntry that the logged entries be available for a provider-defined amount of time subject to provider-defined restrictions on the quantity of data logged by any given node. A SIF_LogEntry category. May be omitted for informational-type postings, where typically a textual description will suffice. Success Data Issues with Success Result Data Issues with Failure Result Error Conditions A SIF_LogEntry code with regard to SIF_Category above. May be omitted for informational-type postings, where typically a textual description will suffice. If a SIF_Code is included, SIF_Category must be included as well. An error code specific to the application posting the entry. Can be used by vendors to query log entries for errors specific to their applications. If a SIF_ApplicationCode is included, SIF_Category must be included as well; i.e., application-specific error codes should fall within one of the defined log entry categories. A textual description of the error. Any extended error description. Any SIF data objects to which this log entry may apply. The name of the SIF object referenced (e.g. StudentPersonal). The SIF node that logged this entry. The level of the log entry herein described. The Authentication object allows a system that stores usernames and/or passwords to share them with other applications through SIF. The provider of the Authentication object may only support providing a username or a password, or it may support both. An identifying string for the system that supports this authentication information. Specific type of user identification. The identification string for this user. This is the distinguished name of the user in a network directory system. A representation of the user's password using the given algorithm. The method used to encrypt the user's password.

Note that when this common element is used not all of the following values apply. There are notes to indicate values that are applicable. Number of credits. This attribute does not apply to Cash or Value and hence has a value 0. It only applies to types BreakfastCredit and LunchCredit. Reports aggregate counts and, optionally, received funds for individual combinations of student or staff meal status and meal type. Student meal status. If a meal status applies, either MealStatus (for students), or EarnedStatus (for staff) is specified. Staff meal status. Value of tax collected. The value of the count.

Code that specifies what type of name this is. Name of Record Extends BaseNameType to allow for Type attribute values excluding "name of record." Used for other names to be included in addition to the name of record in objects like StudentPersonal. Code that specifies what type of name this is, excluding "name of record." Given Name (Name at Birth) Current Legal Alias Previous Name (sometimes called Maiden Name of Female Persons) Married Name Professional Name Base type, without attributes, for Name elements, primarily to allow structure to be leveraged with different Type attribute values. A prefix associated with the name like Mr., Ms., etc. The middle name or initial. Generation of suffix like II, Jr., etc. This is a name that the person prefers to be called by. This is the name to be used for sorting purposes. A free text field for the complete name. The SIF object names that can be specified in a The SIF object names that can be specified in a The SIF object names that can be specified in a The SIF objects that can be included in a The SIF objects that can be included in a The SIF objects that can be included in The SIF objects that can be included in Header information associated with a message. SIF_MsgId is a globally unique message identifier from the Agent or ZIS that sends out the message. Timestamp of when the message was sent. The SIF_SourceId is the ID of the originator of the message. Each source needs to have a zone unique case-sensitive identifier. This element represents the ID of the recipient of the message and may be present as follows: Contains each SIF Context that applies to the message. If omitted, the applicable context is SIF_Default. SIF_Context is repeatable for SIF_Events, not repeatable for SIF_Request or SIF_Response. This element is used to signal an unsuccessful response. See Error Codes. A simple, easy to understand, description of the error. The primary consumer of this message is the application user. Example: "Unable to open database." An optional error description that is more complete and technical in nature. It is to be used as a diagnostic message in trouble-shooting procedures. Example: "The 'Students' table is opened in exclusive mode by user 'ADM1' (dbm.cpp, line 300)." SIF's default query mechanism. Individual elements/attributes being requested of matching object. See SIF_Element Syntax below. If specified, only the elements/attributes requested are returned in the SIF_Response (with any parent elements/attributes); otherwise, all elements supported by the provider's object are returned. The actual name of the object that is being queried for. This is the element/attribute being queried. See below for syntax. The comparison operator for the condition. Equals Less Than Greater Than Less Than Or Equals Greater Than Or Equals Not Equals SIF_Value is the data that is used to compare with the value of the element or attribute. The boolean operator for joining conditions (SIF_Condition elements) within this element. Note that None should be used if there is only one SIF_Condition element. The Boolean operator for joining conditions (SIF_Conditions elements) within this element. Note that None should be used if there is only one SIF_Conditions element. An example SIF object that serves as a template for matching objects. There is an implied EQ operator for every element/attribute value present and an implied And group of all resulting conditions. Currently this is an experimental feature and limited to use with select objects; wider use may be considered in future versions of this specification. SIF's default query mechanism for SIF_Request, SIF_Query, has several limitations that limit its usefulness when creating reporting applications that process data from a SIF zone. SIF_Query is limited to matching only one object type per query, requiring applications to manually join together results as needed for reporting and general data processing. SIF_ExtendedQuery is designed to allow for joins on object identifiers/RefIds and to allow retrieval of data in a row/column fashion similar to SQL. Each returned column may contain hierarchical XML elements/objects. While envisioned as the primary mechanism for SIF-based ReportManifests, Providers and Responders in a Zone may support SIF_ExtendedQuery in addition to SIF_Query. Support for SIF_ExtendedQuery can be declared in and retrieved from the Zone is various Infrastructure messages and objects. If no SIF_DestinationId applies to the request and this element is supplied, the Requester specifies that the extended query be routed to the Provider on record for the given object name. If this element is omitted and no SIF_DestinationId applies to the request, the ZIS routes the request to the Provider on record for the object name in SIF_From. Indicates the element/attribute to return as a column. Contents can be left empty to return the whole object specified in ObjectName, or * can be designated to return all attributes and immediate child elements of the object specified in ObjectName, or SIF_Element Syntax can be specified, relative to the object specified in ObjectName. Requested attributes are to be returned as the text value of the corresponding attribute, elements as a copy of the XML element itself including attributes if they exist. Optional caption for the column. The name of the object from which to retrieve element/attributes. Specifies whether query results should return all rows (false) or just distinct ones (true). Rows are distinct if at least one column differs between them. The maximum number of rows to return. If All, return all rows, otherwise return the top rows up to the maximum row count indicated. Specifies the left-side element/attribute on which to constrain the join. Currently only support for keys/RefIds/RefId references is required. Name of the object that contains the element/attribute. Specifies right left-side element/attribute on which to constrain the join. Currently only support for keys/RefIds/RefId references is required.
