What is SIF?
The Schools Interoperability Framework is a set of software and data specifications that describe how data can be exchanged among applications in a K12 schools setting. The SIF Association, a not-for-profit 503c corporation, produces the specifications and coordinates the work of members. Members in the association devote time and talent to collaboratively develop the various specifications that make up the framework. Member organizations include schools, states, K12 software vendors, systems integrators, and others interested in helping advance interoperability in the K12 space. The association does not produce a "SIF" product. Components of the framework, like Zone Integration Servers and Agents, are developed and offered by vendor members of the association and extended community.
The main software components of the architecture today are Zone Integration Servers (ZIS) and Agents. ZIS's provide reliable messaging among Agents within a logical collection of systems known as a Zone. A ZIS is generally implemented as a software server. Agents are responsible for interfacing applications to Zones. Agents allow software applications to send and receive data from zones using HTTP/S transport using the SIF data model, which is expressed in XML.
