CEDStandards / CEDS-Elements

The Common Education Data Standards (CEDS) are an education data management initiative whose purpose is to streamline the understanding of data within and across P-20W institutions and sectors. CEDS includes a common vocabulary complete with standard elements names, definitions, and option sets. This repository contains all the CEDS elements, definitions, option sets and their definitions, and entities and definitions. Its purpose is to expand that vocabulary to meet the needs of every education stakeholder. The expanded vocabulary is then added to the CEDS Integration Data Store and CEDS Data Warehouse – the other two repositories located here.

CEDS has elements for 3 of the 5 ISO language codes, but the definitions are not clearly represented in CEDS.

Use Case Description List the proposed element name(s), definition(s), and/or option set(s).

ISO 639-2 Language Code - update definition of element to: "A three-letter language identifier for a larger number of widely known individual languages and a number of language groups." ISO 639-3 Language Code - update definition of element to: "A three-letter language identifier covering all individual languages (including all individual languages covered by Set 2), including living, extinct and ancient languages." ISO 639-5 Language Family - update definition of element to: "A three-letter language identifier covering a larger set of language groups, living and extinct (including all language groups covered by Set 2).

Use Case Background Provide information related to why these changes/additions are needed.

The overlap of options between these three elements requires a more specific definition to ensure clarity around use of these options.
