Migrating to the Global Research & Scholarship Category
This topic is specifically designed for existing Research & Scholarship (R&S) IdP operators. All R&S SPs in the InCommon Federation now meet the requirements of the REFEDS R&S Entity Category specification and therefore every R&S SP has a multivalued R&S entity attribute in metadata. More importantly, InCommon will soon begin importing the metadata of R&S SPs from other federations, so now is the time for R&S IdP operators to begin thinking about their migration strategy to global R&S.
Basically, an existing R&S IdP operator has two options:
- Release attributes to all R&S SPs, including R&S SPs from other federations
- Release attributes to R&S SPs registered by InCommon only
These two options are discussed in the sections below.
