OpenRegistry Tues., Nov 12, 2013 at 10:45am -- Marina del Rey Room
TOPIC:
CONVENER: Bill Thompson (Unicon)
SCRIBE: Bert Bee-Lindgren
# of ATTENDEES: 17
MAIN ISSUES DISCUSSED: Person Registries: OR
- Omar did demo of Rutgers's OR implementation
- Philosophy: Independent sources of record
- Can be a SOR for areas not handled by other sources
- Guests
- Early employees
- Can be a SOR for areas not handled by other sources
- Architecture & Flow: Raw Data --> Standardized Data --> Calculated Data
- https://wiki.jasig.org/display/OR/Data+Flow
- OR Loader (Berkeley/Unicon working to improve this)
- Implement/Configure the Load/Validate/Normalize/Standardize pipeline w/o writing java
- Batch+Interface requirements in jasig.org
- github.com/jasig/openregistry-loader
- Built on Spring Batch
- Jobs (Writer or Reader)
- Saves old/new values and invokes OR APIs on changes
- Still need to understand OR schema/APIs
- OR Toolkit (Java code from Rutgers)
- OR Exporter (Needs most work)
- UI Demo: View/Add/Edit People (act as an SOR)/Join/Split/Early F,S on-boarding
- Delegated Admin
- Functions:
- Batch APIs to load data
- Stores, normalize, reconciles, identities
- Create NetId, activation URLs
- Provisioning downstream systems
- Registry data model:
- Staging tables
- Source data (normalized)
- Reconciled identities
- APIs:
- Read data
- Add attributes
- ...
- Audit info available (what changed, when, by whom)
- Real-time events & OR Loader
- Philosophy: Independent sources of record
- Comparison with CPR or Kuali
- See web (Probably within this Google search)
- OR designed around independent SoRs
- Is this all SOR-syncing process backwards:
- Shouldn't identity start in IDM systems?
- Feed SORs from IDM
- This is a good idea, but not attainable everywhere
- Should we push a different model, but use OR model as a Plan B
- Rutgers merged with Med School, how did it go?
- Registry: Med School was just another feed
- Meshed well with existing infrastructure and was generally similar prior loading efforts
- Tweak election a lot
- Lots of overlap (alumni going to work & med school) & joint programs
- They were laughed at when they suggested centralizing ID-creation process
- Registry: Med School was just another feed
