The SETDA paper incorporates two models that I've used to categorize standards. The Four-Layer Framework for Data Standards divides data standards into four layers of work that build upon each other. The more recent Taxonomy of Education Standards looks at categories of data within the education sector. Shortly before I changed jobs, one of my Gates Foundation colleagues asked if I could make a chart placing existing standards efforts against these two models. I decided to do it all at once by merging the models into a matrix. Here's the result:
To understand the chart better, I recommend reading the descriptions of the two models. The Four-Layer Framework for Data Standards and the Taxonomy of Education Standards.
There's a lot of crowding in the area of student data. The standards in this area don't compete as much as it would appear. While there's some overlap, most fill complimentary roles. Details of all of these standards efforts and how they relate to each other are in the SETDA paper.
Here are links to the official websites and, in some cases, my writing related to each of the above standards.
Like most everything on this blog, these models and this chart are free to reuse under a CC-BY license. I hope they're helpful to your efforts.
