================ Ken's Comments
Overarching Framework and Possible Gaps
Ken asked a two-Two part question:
1. Do the various parts fit together into an overarching framework?
and2and2. Do we see gaps in the work?
Is the concept of federation an anchoring concept throughout the work on these action items?
- Steven noted that he is writing a vision document for the Brown the IdM system. He sees that the IAM Diagram needs some updating, for concepts like social identities and VOs
- IAM diagram is seen at http://www.internet2.edu/pubs/IAM-infosheet.pdf
- The vision of how things fit together has changed somewhat
- But Steven does not see huge gaps, and he believes the overarching vision on that diagram is still valid
- The landscape includes research campuses, research labs , VOs , global interfederation, social identities.
- Prior to 2011 Spring Member Meeting, Steven will be circulating his draft vision document to some set of people, many of whom are on the call.
- So Steven's vision document could serve as a trigger for thinking about how to update the diagram.Q: What about VO's?
- How much of the IdM work done to date has analogous developments in the research community? The diagram presents an enterprise view, but does it all have resonance for VOs?
- Steven says, yes, VOs are operationally going to exist on some spectrum here.
- Some VOs want to get as much help from central IT as possible, at the home campus for one of the PIs
- Some VOs will want to do all the IdM work on their own
- There will also be hybrids
