Used to describe what role this item is serving in the structure. Some documents describe their levels in terms of standard, strands, and topics. Others use standards, benchmarks, and indicators. In Australia, this is typically in terms of Course or Unit, Year Level, Outcomes. This attribute names the level of the item.

GUID assigned to the LearningStandardItem directly above it in the hierarchy tree. This is a repeatable element because a single granular item may relate to multiple parent levels of the hierarchy.

For example, if the subject is mathematics and the standard is algebra, this would be the next delineation - Represent an unknown quantity as a variable using a symbol, including letters. This would be assigned by and unique to the standard setting body.

This is the specific year level. This is to be utilized if the YearLevel covers several years. This would be assigned by and unique to the standard setting body.

This would be the most granular level of the learning standard associated with the grade level. Following the same example, an indicator for Algebra YearLevel 5-7, the indicator for the benchmark above at Year 6 would be to Evaluate simple expressions by replacing variables with given values, and use formulas in problem-solving situations. This would be assigned by and unique to the standard setting body.

This object is for course information.

All local ids in non-authoritative objects are optional. It is therefore up to the provider and the actual agent's design and choreography to determine whether or not to use or local ids from parent objects. There are cases in some subscribing systems where it might not possible to add RefId columns and therefore the RefId of related objects cannot be stored. For example a target system that listens to TimeTableSubject events and updates them may not be able to store the associated SchoolCourseInfoRefId with that object. The only way it can link the TimeTableSubject object with the appropriate course might be through its local course id. Having local ids that link the parent objects with the child object can simplify the agent design. Generally it is suggested to use the appropriate RefIds whenever possible and only use local ids if there is no other way to use RefIds.
