Data Instrumentation: The Work That Makes Analytics Possible
At Yet Analytics, we have approached data instrumentation from multiple directions: publishing activity natively from Unity applications, translating Moodle platform events, instrumenting media playback in VLC, and observing distributed simulation activity through Federate xAPI. These projects differ in scale and architecture, but they share the same objective to make activity interoperable, accessible, and actionable.
xAPI was designed to break down silos. So, don’t put it in a silo.
Neither xAPI nor any of the related IEEE LTSC data standards naturally gravitate towards living in silos. They are all designed to be interconnected and they thrive on interconnectedness.
They only end up in silos if you put them in silos.
