摘要：OBACIS is an integrated framework being developed to accelerate the accreditation reporting workflow, cut down the reporting cost by an order of magnitude, and close the data-driven continuous improvement loop. The framework integrates three different pieces of software: 1) an Excel Add-in, or the "Xl-App", for simultaneous grade and OBA reporting; 2) A Windows Application, or the "Win-App" for program and faculty-level template creation, document compilation, and program assessment; and, 3) a web-tool, or the "Web-App", for document compilation and reporting. This paper focuses on creating a centralized database for compiling raw data related to accreditation reporting from various resources such as previous visit accreditation reports, academic calendars, course schedules, and a handful of other resources are used to create what we call OBACIS Catalogs. The Catalogs framework is a part of the bigger OBACIS framework proposed in CEEA 2016 [1]. The framework has been implemented as a module of the Win-App. Automating the creation process of Course Information Sheets (CIS) was the original goal and is still one of the main outputs of the proposed framework. The OBACIS Catalogs are supposed to save a sheer amount of time needed for accreditation reporting and should act as an instrumental tool for accelerating accreditation data collection, creating insightful analyses, and identifying gaps for continuous improvement initiatives at both program and faculty levels.
