Ed-Fi ODS / API Platform

The Ed-Fi Alliance publishes the Ed-Fi Data Standard, which models a broad spectrum of commonly exchanged and shared K-12 education data. The Ed-Fi ODS / API is a concrete implementation of a relational database and a companion API harmonized with the Ed-Fi Data Standard. The Ed-Fi ODS / API is tuned to the security and performance needs of K-12 organizations and the education technology vendors who serve them.

The ODS implementation uses Microsoft SQL Server or PostgreSQL as a database platform. The API implementation is written in C#. Together, these form a data platform to host student-centric data. The ODS / API platform is vendor neutral, meaning that client applications may be written in any language.

Please see the Ed-Fi Technology Suite Supported Versions for an overview of which Data Standard version(s) are supported by a given ODS / API version.
