Baseline Expectations

  • Ask for a specific date that you plan to meet the expectations

    • no more than three months out?

    • The date will provide an opportunity for contact

  • Collect the name of entity - entityID (use a copy and paste)


List of Entities meeting baseline


Federation manager and Baseline Expectations

  • A feature will be added to the federation manager to help with addressing lacking metadata. No date for this yet.

  • Brett  spoke with Nick Roy over Slack about harder validation checks.

  • Currently there is a warning (soft validation).  

  • Nick expressed concern about adding more complexity if we want Federation manager to accept a reason for lacking a certain metadata element.

  • Q: What about for initial submission of a new entity versus handling of an established entity?

    • A: that was not discussed

  • When the time is right, CTAB can  ask InCommon to switch from soft validation to where Federation Manager does not allow submission when metadata is lacking.
