Postsecondary Electronic Standards Council is hosting a session in Scottsdale this October about the work of the JSON-LD Transcript Workgroup.

Leading the Establishment and Adoption of Trusted, Free & Open Data Standards Across the Education Domain Through open & transparent community participation, PESC enables cost-effective connectivity between data systems to accelerate performance and service, to simplify data access and research, and to improve data quality along the education lifecycle. PESC envisions national & international interoperability within the Education domain, supported by a trustworthy, inter-connected network built by and between communities of interest in which data flows seamlessly from one system to another and throughout the entire eco-system when and where needed without compatibility barriers but in a safe, secure, reliable, and efficient manner. While PESC promotes the implementation and usage of data exchange standards, PESC does not set (create or establish) policies related to privacy and security. Organizations and entities using PESC standards and services should ensure they comply with FERPA and all local, state, federal and international rules on privacy and security as applicable. Admissions, Financial Aid and Registrar processes are PESC’s primary strategic target audience – supported by: Student Information Systems (SIS), Application Centers/Hubs, Government Systems, State/Provincial-based systems, Transfer and Articulation Centers/Hubs, Vendor Systems and Hubs, among many others. A community forum, platform, or marketplace has grown within PESC, due to the focus, activities, experience & open, neutral, transparent environment and its attractiveness to those with the desire to: » improve their technology and/or overall interoperability » seek education, guidance and/or best practices on technology, standards, systems, integrations, projects, pilots » increase the visibility of their technology, standards, systems, integrations, projects, pilots, etc. and/or seek support » connect and network with others with similar needs
