NCES Data Systems Standards and Guidelines Web site

The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) within the Institute of Education Sciences has developed a new Data Systems Standards and Guidelines Web site to help data system designers and managers build and/or improve education data systems. This site includes resources and Web links from work done by NCES, technology standards organizations, the States and school districts that make up the National Forum on Education Statistics, and State data system managers who share some of the lessons learned and tools developed in building their own data systems.
