Developing and Using Public-Private Data Standards For Employment And Earnings Records
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation (Chamber Foundation) and the T3 Innovation Network (T3 Network) recently partnered with the HR Open Standards Consortium (HR Open) to develop public-private open data standards for employment and earnings records. Employers use these records in business planning and managing their human resources and report them to federal and state governments, including state Unemployment Insurance (UI) systems.

Comparing Roster Data Models
Educators need a way to create a roster once, identify the required software assets that the class may access, and update the software applications with the roster information easily and automatically.
However, due to multiple Roster Data Models, the sources of data, such as Student Information Systems (SIS) and Learning Managements Systems (LMS), do not seamlessly exchange roster data with the growing number of digital content and assessment systems available.
This causes organizations to face frustrating, time-consuming processes when setting up software applications for classrooms of students.
Access 4 Learning (A4L) and Bardic Systems have:
-Mapped Roster Data Models and are publishing a “Roster Comparison Spreadsheet” to promote roster interoperability
-Provided an industry overview and a set of recommendations for unifying a Roster Data Model.
A4L and BSI issued a joint Press Release to announce the availability of the documents.

Public-Private Standards Development and Use by Government
The United States has developed a unique public-private approach to standards development and use. As data from public and private sources is increasingly leveraged to address challenges in the talent marketplace it is more important than ever to break down silos within and across sectors. The T3 Network is exploring how the unique U.S. approach to standards development can be most effectively applied.
This paper makes recommendations on how to further strengthen public and private collaboration in the development and use of voluntary consensus standards. It includes recommendations for implementing guidelines reflected in A-119 and the leading practices of existing standards development organizations (SDOs) as well as federal and state policy. It also recommends the formation of a public-private standards collaborative (SC) with a work plan that promotes the benefits of public-private collaboration, strengthens government engagement at all levels, and addresses immediate opportunities to show impact starting with work on comprehensive learner/worker/military records.
