=E2=80=A2 Submit 2-3 sentence blurbs on current projec= ts and issues.
=E2=80=A2 Target of this call is to increase collabora=
tion for statewide id management collaborations.
=E2=80=A2 This effort is to leverage this community to h=
elp implementation strategies, focused on the high-level ideas for crafting=
these statewide federations.
=E2=80=A2 Not looking into technical specifics.
=E2=80=A2 Looking to gauge interest from participants an=
d to see where we should move forward.
Open discussion of efforts currently underway in individual states:
New Jersey
o library and museum proposed a grant two years ago to d=
evelop a statewide digital portal.
o NJVid commons, looking into commercial videos, learnin=
g on demand (learning objects). Some will be openly available, others restr=
icted.
o Looking to build on a statewide CI which will allow fu=
rther collaboration. Fedora architecture and stateside shibboleth implement=
ation two key components to this effort.
o Have statewide video network functioning with shibbole=
th configuration aspects with expected release in the next several months. =
Some challenges include getting right information from the community to pop=
ulate the right attributes. For the universities it's pretty straightforwar=
d in implementing shibboleth, but once you get below this level we may have=
to download administrative data and run a proxy.
o Finding not much K-12 statewide collaboration, but on =
a district/county approach. (May want to look at Ideal model from Arizona s=
tate portal, driven by Arizona Dept. of Education) Parts of this will be op=
en source soon, particularly idea mapping system. Currently developing a to=
olkit as part of the grant for others to follow and it will be available on=
the NJvid website.
o One of the issues is that this identification process =
is not common outside of the academic structure. Looking to broaden this to=
public libraries through our mapping system. (LDAP).
Arizona
o Setting up a tri-university federation under the Arizo=
na Board of Regents. In proof of concept stage, with no particular projects=
. Laying infrastructure.
New York
o Primary focus in protecting business systems currently=
up and running. 2nd technology center in Buffalo as we set up a statewide =
federation among 64 campuses.
o Currently homegrown ID management system. Expect growi=
ng problems given the disparity in resources among NY higher education comm=
unity.
o Article of business intelligence project currently und=
erway, with financial data need to be protected. Confluence of data storage=
and exchange of knowledge among universities. We've looked at Oracle ID ma=
nagement piece, with documentation being #1 problem. All bought in differen=
t pieces. Perhaps this is something we may want to take more control over a=
nd not be so vendor dependent? Challenging due to loose fitting organizatio=
n.
Alaska
o Unity project with seed money from federal program to =
collect information on NCLB, moving towards process of federated ID managem=
ent among 53 school districts.
=E2=80=A2 Steven Carmody, Brown University: should exp=
ect interoperability of SAML2 products. Operational tasks/burdens vary, how=
ever. Also need to keep FERPA requirements in consideration.
=E2=80=A2 Ken Klingenstein: raises the question for proc=
ess of disseminating information on this topic. Perhaps employing a Wiki an=
d breaking down the information geographically? Let's not wait until =
everything is ready before exchanging information. Ken will share internati=
onal website with information on projects being undertaken around the globe=
which may help us organize our own Wiki. Helpful to find out what other pe=
ople on this group are doing and sharing tools as well as techniques for de=
veloping working relationships.
Strategies and approaches under consideration
=E2=80=A2 Participants finding this of value. Perhaps =
have an hour and a half call? Perhaps set up a regular slot each month, Wed=
nesday's
=E2=80=A2 Suggestion of sending George or the list two o=
r three sentences on what you are doing. Ann West noted the US Trust Federa=
tion Wiki is now live.
=E2=80=A2 Wed. 3pm or 4pm, Thurs. 3pm or 4pm (third we= ek of each month), ninety minute window.
