2 | This document includes a sheet for each of the vocabulary sources. CEDS was identified as the most complete vocabulary for the "Type of Credential" descriptor. Common Education Data Standards (CEDS) project is a national collaborative effort to develop voluntary, common data standards for a key set of education data elements to streamline the exchange, comparison, and understanding of data within and across P-20W institutions and sectors. An X in adjacent column indicates presences of descriptions that look to align to CEDS. If an X is not shown, similar (or any description) was not found.
