The CEDS Ontology is a new way of looking at CEDS. An ontology serves to define entities and the connections between them. In education, we categorize Organizations into types such as a K12 School, a Postsecondary Institution, or an Early Learning Program. We can also describe the relationship that exists between a Person and that Organization such as Enrollment, Assignment, or Employment. The CEDS Ontology builds on the CEDS Integrated Data Store model by not only demonstrating relationships exist between elements through Primary and Foreign Key relationships, but by providing definitions and meaning about those relationships through Object Properties.
