Overview

Summary 

Schools across the university use a variety of timetabling data to fulfil their existing business processes.  The Shared Academic Timetabling project has delivered a centralised timetabling system, and there is a requirement for a feed of data held within this system for consumption locally within the schools.  XML has been identified as the preferred format for this data.
