Swagger

We use Swagger for the documentation of our API to streamline the design, collaboration, and testing processes. Swagger allows us to automatically generate API documentation and utilise a standardised format based on the OpenAPI specification, making it easy for both developers and users to understand the functionality of the EduXS API. Additionally, the interactive Swagger UI enables us to test the API directly, improving development efficiency, collaboration, and ensuring the quality of our API.

Information Model 2024

The schema provides a high-level view of EduXS’s information structure, illustrating interconnections between elements. Its key strength lies in visualising relationships among entities in educational innovation, helping stakeholders understand dependencies and identify synergies. This holistic view enables informed decision-making and avoids redundancy.

As an index, EduXS guides users to relevant resources, standards, tools, and the organisations behind them. This fosters collaboration and supports stakeholders in building on each other’s work to advance educational innovation.

The five primary entities in the model

  1. Standards: Guidelines and protocols—formal, informal, or in development—that support or relate to digital educational practices. Standards define system interoperability, facilitate seamless data exchange, and ensure alignment across various platforms.
  2. Documentation: Information such as best practices, architectural guidelines, and insights from previous projects and initiatives. Documentation captures valuable knowledge, preserving successful practices to ensure they are accessible to others.
  3. Services: Digital tools and services within the educational ecosystem. From online learning platforms to administrative systems, these services contribute to a cohesive and well-integrated educational environment.
  4. Organisations: Registered entities in EduXS that play a key role in developing and maintaining standards, services, and documentation, or that fund and enable the advancement, implementation, and promotion of these resources.
  5. Collaborations: Temporary groups, including projects, work groups, or technical committees from one or more organisations, are registered as Collaborations in EduXS. These groups facilitate the sharing of knowledge and expertise, driving ongoing improvement within the digital education landscape.
