Overview

Data Flow is a toolset designed to help ease the burden of data migration and utilization in learning environments. It does so by providing methods to extract information out of spreadsheet-based data (CSV and Excel files), and transform and load to the Ed-Fi Alliance Operational Data Store (ODS) API (see (https://www.ed-fi.org/what-is-ed-fi/ed-fi-technology/)).

Data Flow is a tool set primarily based a .C# NET toolset with a web administration panel in ASP.NET to view data and job status, and server components as .NET command-line applications to process data. Data Flow also contains a Google Chrome extension prototype to help automate the delivery of data from web sites without SFTP/FTPS export ability. Data Flow is designed to run on-premise or within cloud hosted environments like Microsoft Azure or Amazon Web Services. This is designed to match the Ed-Fi ODS and API operating model of choice by education-serving entities.
