Intro
This document compares OSIDs to Kuali Student Services in the domains pertinent to Kuali Student. The purpose of this comparison is to inform the mapping between these two frameworks.
| Legend |
|---|
| straight forward bi-driectional feature mapping |
| feature mapping through OBA such as Type agreement or service orchestration |
| questionable feature or mapping design |
| missing feature |
The red-yellow-green legend provides a quick look at what is in common, where features are missing, and an opinion as to the quality of the design (yellow). Blues simply indicate that the same effect can be achieved in a less direct manner. Some blues are an artifact of the framework, others indicate that the feature wasn't addressed directly, and yet others may indicate a design deficiency.
Both KS and OSIDs leave flexibility to include features out-of-band through typing of abstract entities, dynamic attributes, or OsidRecords. At some level, most every feature can be covered by the other through some contortions. If it was a matter of adding a few out-of-band data fields or using a different service, it got marked blue. If a feature was not included in any model, it got marked red.
This isn't a grading scale. The colors provide a gestalt of the work required to map between them.

There was little sense in comparing KS to the complete suite of OSIDs because OSIDs include much more than what is relevant to a conventional student system. However, within those services applicable to KS, the complete OSID feature set was included although it may not be seen as a priority for KS.
Versions
Kuali Student: anything defined in a KS service contract (not just model) as of 11/1/2014 whether or not it has been implemented
OSIDs: definitions based in OSID 3.0.0rc6
About OBAs
Out-of-band mechanisms include anything requiring knowledge of an identifier (key) that assumes the existence of information not specified by core contract. Typically, it's anywhere where a Type is used. OBAs also include the knowledge that additional services need to be utilized in order to accomplish the feature (services also have identifiers so the knowledge of their existence is an agreement).
Extra data may accompany the Type. (Although KS is very loose about this) the KS entity Type is a specification of the set of extra attributes that accompany the entity. In OSIDs, a similar thing is accomplished using OsidRecord Types. While each mechanism has its pros and cons, this analysis is just concerned about the ability to map features across the two frameworks.
Requiring an OBA is not necessarily a deficiency, though it can be a candidate for future work. KS has been focused on the business of student systems and is more likely to include more specific administrative detail within that domain. OSIDs are primarily concerned with interoperability across domains and is more likely to brush off behind-the-scenes detail, require more service orchestration, and include some things not of interest to student systems.
