Charter for Data Structures and APIs Working Group

Key Deliverables from TIER Release 1

TIER Standards and Guidelines

By April 2016

Publish and promote the adoption of a first-round set of conventions for API and data structure design. The goal is to inform and hopefully influence API development for Release 1.0 Grouper and COmanage components.
Pair the basic group and membership management APIs with an event-driven messaging approach to the same functionality. Clarify the circumstances that favor one approach over the other.
Assess possible models for APIs and data structures around consent.
Document the first round requirements for administering and monitoring IAM infrastructure and specify the kinds of instrumentation needed in each component to support administration and monitoring.
