  1. eduPersonAffiliation semantics – a spin-off of eduGAIN policy REFEDs 30.5.2010 Mikael Linden

  2. The problem (or is it one?) • eduPerson spec is not very specific on eduPerson(Scoped)Affiliation semantics • Federations have made (some) incompatible interpretations • Especially ”employee” and ”staff” • presented in REFEDs in Rome • another by Andrew on Tuesday @2 pm

  3. Do we need ePA at all?Case CLARIN From: Dieter Van Uytvanck [mailto:dieter.vanuytvanck@mpi.nl] Sent: 28. May 2010 18:22To: Mikael LindenWe discussed this extensively, also with the CLARIN WP7 (legal issues, licenses). It turned out that unless at certain point we have full certainty about the reliability and availability of the eduPersonAffiliation (or a variant of that) attribute it does not make sense to use it within CLARIN. So if eduGAIN could ensure the existance and the correctness of such an attribute in all IdPs we would like to use it.best regards,-- Dieter Van UytvanckMax Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen, the Netherlands

  4. Could the semantics vary federation-by-federation? • SP admin would need to adopt to the semantics that depend on the federation/IdP • SP admin needs to learn the different interpretations • But SP admin is not necessarily a federation geek interested in studying the differences of (European) federations => makes threshold higher for SPs to get confederated • We should try to make eduGAIN easy for SPs

  5. So, what is our plan?http://doodle.com/me2xgh4ctgrypbg7
