The Research and Scholarship (R&S) entity category = defines a simple and scalable way to streamline federated research, scholar= ship, and collaboration access. Identity Providers (IdPs) agree to release = basic, pre-defined person directory information to all service providers (S= P) in the category.
Institutions who configure their IdP to support R&S realize the foll= owing benefits:
InCommon has partnered with its peer research and education federations = worldwide to create the REFEDS Research and Scholarship entity categor= y.
Hundreds of InCommon IdPs and SPs are = already a part of the R&S category.
For an SP, having the R&S ent= ity attribute means "I meet the qualifying criteria&n= bsp;to be part of the R&S category." The InCommon Federation= operator reviews SP applications for R&S and assigns the entity attrib= ute to qualified SPs.
Qualified SPs automatically recei=
ve the R&S person&nb=
sp;attribute bundle from all R&S-=
supporting IdPs in the federati=
on. This process significantly reduces integration overhead for an SP opera=
tor by not having to ind=
ividually negotiate information release with each institution.
For an IdP, the R&S entity attribute means "I support R&S." Spec= ifically, the IdP agrees to release basic person information to all qualify= ing R&S SPs. It does so by making a one-time addition to its default at= tribute release policy to release R&S attribute bundle to all R&S S= Ps.
Once configured, an InCommon participating institution declares support = for R&S by clicking a box in the Federation Ma= nager portal.
This one-time configuration provides faculty and researchers instant fed= erated single sign-on access to R&S services without further administra= tor involvement. When future scholarly projects qualify for the R&S cat= egory, collaboration across participating campuses becomes immediate and se= amless.
