Update from NGA & CCSSO: Developments on Common Core State Standards Identifier and XML Representation

On April 16, 2012, CCSSO and NGA updated the official Common Core State Standards (CCSS) website to provide additional information related to their work in addressing the need to appropriately identify and link CCSS-aligned assets using a shared system of identifiers and a common XML representation.

In their update, CCSSO and NGA offer their thoughts on and approach to:

• Canonical identifiers for individual standards;
• XML and metadata, and;
• Granularity.

At the same time, CCSSO and NGA released three sets of identifiers, intended to be canonical, and announced the intent to recode www.corestandards.org to match the new URI structure and XML and metadata vocabularies in the coming months.

For more information - and to respond to their open call for comments by no later than Friday, April 27, 2012 - please visit: http://www.corestandards.org/developments-on-common-core-state-standards...
