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.
This is for capturing needs not currently supported by the CEDS model. Please do not send or share actual data as examples in this issue or in attachments.

Use Case Title
Staff Compensation Element Consolidation
Use Case Description
There are numerous elements related to Staff Compensation: Staff Compensation Base Salary, Staff Compensation Health Benefits, Staff Compensation Retirement Benefits, Staff Compensation Other Benefits, Staff Compensation Total Benefits, Staff Compensation Total Salary, Staff Compensation Longevity, and Staff Compensation Annual Supplement. All are dollar amounts. The recommendation is to create a Staff Compensation Type element and include all of these as options and then create a Staff Compensation element which is the dollar amount associated with the type. This would make normalization for the IDS and warehouse much easier and makes the addition of new types of compensation easier by simply adding an option to the type. Additionally, one element contains a description "Staff Compensation Annual Supplement Description" - if we create a Staff Compensation Description element, then all of the elements would have a description option available to them. 9+ elements becomes 3 elements.
Use Case Background
Provide information related to why these changes/additions are needed.
