This matrix indicates which components are required (R), conditional (C) or optional (O) for each collection. Those criteria identify the system expectations for each component and characteristic. All data collected by CEPI and MSDS are required for reporting purposes. However, not all data are applicable to every student. Therefore, the system cannot always require each data element. Detailed explanations of required, conditional and optional are at the bottom of this page.
Each collection has multiple components. Click the Component Name to view the component's data elements and business rules in PDF format, or click the Excel icon for the same information in Excel format.
World Wide Web Consortium is the authority on XML data types. All collection schemas will reference W3C definitions for the base data types. Please refer to the appropriate collection schema and the W3C to ensure a valid file submission.
Note: the information below is effective as of the 2022-23 school year rollover in mid-September 2022. Prior to the rollover, refer to the 2021-22 Collection Component Matrix.
