The CEDS Data Model includes a hierarchical schema of non-technical domains and entities with each CEDS element in context, and a fully-normalized logical model.

===The Integrated Data Store (IDS)


CEDS supports standardizing educational organizations and their relationships with other organizations, people, and time. The Integrated Data Store is a reference model for operational implementations aligned to the CEDS standards. The P-20W focus of CEDS is supporting a transition from siloed, domain-specific, or location-specific, data sets to data that is compatible across domains and geographic boundaries. In addition to existing state and federal reporting and for analysis and comparison of aggregate statistics, the standards support data that moves with a learner from an early learning program to K12 to postsecondary to adult education and workforce learning programs. The latest release of CEDS also focuses on use cases that support people’s relationship with learning processes — the inputs, process steps (work), and outputs of learning — beginning with learning standards and assessments.

Documents providing a printable representation of the CEDS Data Model, including entity relationship diagrams, case studies, and the normalized data schema tables and fields, can be found on the [https://github.com/CEDStandards/CEDS-IDS CEDStandards/CEDS-IDS GitHub repository] in the /doc/ directory (https://ceds.ed.gov/dataModel.aspx).

=== Align ===
The Align tool enables users to align (or map) their data dictionary (element names, definitions and option sets) to CEDS. The alignment creates a map that can be used with CEDS reports to see how a user's data dictionary aligns with the CEDS standard, or with others in the field. The reports can also help users identify where data elements are missing, or where duplicate collection efforts are occurring within your own systems.

=== Connect ===
The Connect tool allows stakeholders across the P20W spectrum to address, define, and calculate metrics and indicators such as graduation rates, program enrollment, and academic outcomes. It allows users to define and analyze data used for reporting to the Federal government, and is an excellent tool for deconstructing policy or research questions. Connect gives users the ability to search through what others have done already, and includes reports designed to provide users with options for linking CEDS elements across Connections.
 
 
Connect's features are organized by the same Build, Use, and Learn supports that the Align tool provides.
