SIF Data Model Implementation Specification (NA) 3.3

Table of Contents

While the Access 4 Learning (A4L) Community continues to further the SIF Specifications (referenced here) its focus has shifted to empower data usage not just data management. To this end A4L is working to up its quality game, not just with better specifications and more meaningful certifications, but with better documentation. Our hope is that we can: empower the programmers to better understand what is being ask of them, give the integrator tools to more readily deliver working solutions, and give the end user the best possible start to communicate requirements.
