# 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:

- Facilitate data sharing and reporting between applications without incurring expensive customer development costs;
- Enhance product functionality efficiently; and
- Provide best-of-breed solutions to customers easily and seamlessly.

The SIF Implementation Specification defines:

- an XML-based messaging framework that allows diverse software applications to interoperate and share and report data related to entities in the pK-12 instructional and administrative environment;
- an HTTP(S)-based transport for conveying these SIF messages;
- an abstract, platform-independent definition of a message queue for reliable delivery of asynchronous SIF messages and related synchronous administrative functions—the Zone Integration Server (ZIS); and
- an abstract, platform-independent definition of the interface between a software application and the ZIS—the SIF Agent.

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

- an XML-based data model that models entities in the pK-12 environment as SIF Data Objects to be shared between applications.

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 software 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).

#### 1.1.1.1 What is SIF (AU)?

SIF Implementation Specification (Australia) defines a set of data objects supporting the Australia's interoperability requirements for the education sector and combines this data model with established infrastructure protocols from the SIF Implementation Specification [SIF]. SIF Implementation Specification (Australia) 1.1 leverages the SIF architecture and redefines the SIF infrastructure from SIF Implementation Specification 2.4 [SIF 2.4] to support its data objects, with an Australia-specific namespace and the data objects defined in this specification. Until such time as the SIF infrastructure is defined separately from its data objects, technical readers should note that the version number internal to SIF XML messages may differ from the version number of the corresponding specification. This is the case for SIF Implementation Specification (Australia) 1.1, which uses version `2.4` from SIF Implementation Specification 2.4, upon which it is based.

### 1.1.2 Schools Interoperability Framework Association

The Schools Interoperability Framework Association (SIF Association) 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 the SIF Association's working groups and task forces. The SIF Association is designed to:

- Join industry leaders in creating the next-generation framework for education technology; and
- Leverage co-marketing opportunities with partners and distributors.

## 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 the SIF Association and dedicating resources to the initiative may also use the designation SIF Participant to describe their involvement with the SIF Association and SIF in marketing, public relations and other materials.
