Notes |
A single register of learning providers is being developed, and the specification of this field falls within the scope of the Aligned Data Definitions and follows the Data Standards in the HESA student record. In the long-term it is anticipated that the UKPRN will replace the plethora of institution identifiers used by different organisations in the education sector. A software developers toolkit - to support the development of UKRLP web services - can be found by following the Software Development Kit link from http://schemas.lsc.gov.uk/. |
