ASN Application Profile - JES & Co. Standards
For a general introduction to Achievement Standards Network (ASN) data, see How the ASN Works. The ASN abstract and data models are based on the DCMI Abstract Model (http://dublincore.org/documents/abstract-model/) and its associated principles. The schema used to describe the two entities in the ASN conceptual model are drawn from a number of different publicly declared namespaces as set out in Section 3 below. In essence, the ASN is an application profile (ASN-AP) that has been encoded following the constraint language set out in Description Set Profiles: A Constraint Language for Dublin Core Application Profiles (http://dublincore.org/documents/2008/03/31/dc-dsp/). As an extensible metadata schema, the ASN embraces the DCMI principles of property (element) refinement and dumb-down.

Benchmarks Online ~ Project 2061 ~ AAAS
Benchmarks for Science Literacy is the Project 2061 statement of what all students should know and be able to do in science, mathematics, and technology by the end of grades 2, 5, 8, and 12. The recommendations at each grade level suggest reasonable progress toward the adult science literacy goals laid out in the project's 1989 report Science for All Americans. Benchmarks can help educators decide what to include in (or exclude from) a core curriculum, when to teach it, and why.
