4. Assumptions & Constraints
No guarantee that it all works without any bugs (surely there are bugs)
There is commitment from NSIP to maintain the SIF3 Framework for the near future.
You don’t have to use it. You can always use SIF 3.x with your own REST implementation.
You can modify it to suit your purpose (Open Source) if absolutely needed.
Ensure you meet the SIF 3.x specification!

5. Goal of the Framework
Enable SIF 3.x Developers to quickly implement Adapters/Services/Agents
Encourage SIF 3.x Adoption
Fully Abstract Infrastructure
REST, SOAP, XML or JSON
Developers only need to care about:
Read data from their data store (i.e. SIS)
Persist data to their data store (i.e. SIS)
Hide/automate “complex” workflows
Environment Management
Access controls to services

6. Goal of the Framework (cont.)
Utilise Of-The-Shelf libraries
Avoid Customisation to 3rd Party Libraries
Be independent from Data Model
Different SIF Locales (AU, US, UK)
Non-SIF Data Models (LTI, EDFI)
Rapid adoption of a new Data Model
Generate Data Model from XSDs
SHOW THAT SIF 3.x WORKS AS INTENDED!
