Who is interested in attributes? - Notes from the ISOC Identity Ecosystem Working Group
Open Groups defining standards / schemas / frameworks
- OIX Attribute Exchange: only having its first meeting this week .
- IETF: ABFAB.
- MACE-DIR / eduperson / SHAC.
More closed defining standards / schemas / frameworks
- ITU SG 17 U10: open to liaison with experts on board and open to members.
- ISO.
These are possibly at a higher level than attribute schema.
Discussion / implementation groups:
- Kantara Attribute Discussion Group.
- REFEDS Attribute Release.
- Other.
- SCIM.
- eID initiatives.
Problem areas
- Sharing across the groups
- it is difficult to share across where information is closed off by non-release before final / copyright / behind closed doors. The earlier in the process you share work, the easier interoperability is later. Where is convergence?
- How are we ensuring that the correct feedback is being created when outputs / schemas / proposals are coming out of these groups? Is Kantara the feature for this?
Solutions:
- making John Bradley be the lynch-pin.
- use existing discussion groups
