This document attempts to identify the differences between the InCommon Research & Scholarship Category and the REFEDS Research & Scholarship Entity Category. The latter was formally adopted by the REFEDS community in February 2014. The REFEDS R&S specification was revised to V1.2 on November 28, 2014.

[Participation Agreement, section 9] Participant agrees to respect the privacy of and any other constraints placed on identity information that it might receive from other InCommon Participants as agreed upon between Participant and the InCommon Participant(s).

In

Participant

understands

that

it

may

not

permanently

store

nor

or

disclose

or

use

for

any

purpose

other

any

information

that

it

receives

from

another

InCommon

Participant

without

express

written

permission

of

the

other

InCommon

Participant.

Participant

understands

that

the

storing

and

sharing

of

resources

is

between

the

Participant

and

the

InCommon

Participant(s)

and

is

not

the

responsibility

of

InCommon.

an

any

other

aspects

how

the

noted

It's

"It

highly

that

use

a

approach

to

only

requesting

those

attributes

that

they

absolutely

need."

"Service

Providers

SHOULD

request

a

subset

of

Category

Attributes

that

represent

only

those

attributes

that

the

Service

Provider

requires

to

operate

its

service."

[Item 1] Here is the relevant phrase from the Participation Agreement:

...

The primary distinction is that the former is included in a signed legal agreement while the latter is self-asserted by the service owner. See, for example, the R&S application form used by InCommon.

Commercial Services

...

For clarity, these two requirements are broken into three parts on the R&S application form:

  1. [True/False] My service provides requested attributes in metadata.
  2. [Yes/No] Are the requested attributes in metadata a subset of the R&S attribute bundle? (Note: This is highly RECOMMENDED otherwise a bilateral agreement with each IdP may be required.)
  3. [True/False] My service requests only those attributes required to operate the service.
