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.

Use Case Title Add two new elements related to Visual Impairment:

  1. Degree of Visual Impairment
  2. Visual Impairment Type

Use Case Description 1. Degree of Visual Impairment Proposed Definition: The degree to which a person is visually impaired. Option Set:

  1. Totally blind (light perception only or no light perception)
  2. Legally blind (excluding totally blind)
  3. Severe visual impairment

2. Visual Impairment Type Proposed Definition: The disease or condition that caused the visual impairment. Option Set:

  1. Macular degeneration
  2. Diabetic retinopathy
  3. Glaucoma
  4. Cataracts
  5. Other cause of visual impairment

Use Case Background The US ED's Office of Acquisition, Grants and Risk Management, Grants Management Policy Division is developing a Single Use Annual Performance Report that pulls together elements from various APRs. The goal is to make it easier for those submitting APRs. As part of this work, we compared CEDS and the Federal Integrated Business Framework Grant Management Standards. You can find their standards at https://ussm.gsa.gov/fibf-gm/.

Some federal programs using the Single Use APR require information on the degree and type of visual impairment. The option sets proposed were taken from the Single Use APR.
