Abstract
This paper presents a web service data collection technique that facilitates observing data collection process for education system. Our technique uses web service for collection of education data. Education Management Information System (EMIS) as a centralized data collection system consumes web service of regional centers for collecting data from application to application. Our data collection technique is divided in two phases. First phase collects data from education providers at regional level centers and second phase collects data for EMIS from all regional levels centers using web service. First phase is divided in four components to register contact addresses of education providers, send data collection format (DCF) and collect filled DCF from web addresses. Thus data is stored at regional levels which can be later collected by EMIS when required. Regional level centers are required to give access of data using web service. Web service can be easily consumed by EMIS using WSDL information to collect data which does not need any modifications in information systems at both regional and central level. Data can be entered directly by education providers to be stored at regional centers, as against centralized system for data entry. So our technique enables platform-independent, computer to computer collection of data. We illustrate our technique by a case study for data collection from schools.
