SIF Data Model Implementation Specification (NA) 3.5

Table of Contents

Version 3.5 is a significant release featuring two new objects (xIndividualizedEducationalPlan and xTransferIep) and associated types. Resulting from nearly two years of study and review, these new objects are intended to support the encoding and transfer of all elements of an Individualized Education Plan, IEP. They is constructed to participate as either a transfer object, like xSRE, or as an entity object. There are no other changes made to the data model in this release.
