"...we would need from the ILS vendors is a decent API into the database

(well, and good database design, but I'm assuming here that the problem 
is the public view, not the backend database)."

That might be a dangerous assumption to make.  The database structure
for Dynix's Horizon, for example, is absolutely horrendous (as are the
tools for managing it).
