DISCUSSION

Schema Needs for K12

Keith: Representatives from the Quilt InCommon Pilots ( https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/display/InCQuiltFed/Home ) have reached out to the MACE-Directories Working Group to discuss schema needs for K12. it's important to start with concrete projects and initiatives and describe and document those. Then we can determine what attributes are needed to support those actual use cases.

...

Important Questions:
-For federation at the university level, the university IDP often has the needed info. In a K12 scenario, the source of info may be a local district and there may be a need for a call to the service record, which can be more complicated.
-What are the needs of actual service providers and who is the authoritative source for the info that must get asserted?
-Where will the IDP run?
-Where do users authenticate?
-Who issues the credentials?

...

Need to provide authentication mechanism for parents,
There are some issues there.

Illinois Quilt InCommon Pilot

Illinois has much in common with the Nebraska pilot story. All K12 will have similar issues.

For details on the Illinois pilot, see https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/display/InCQuiltFed/NCSA+and+IlliniCloud

Setting values re Entitlements

Best to have SPs communicate what data they will need.

...

Next Steps: Gather concrete use cases and document them at https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/display/macedir/Exploration+of+K-12+schema+issues
