SMART Implementation Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions

What is SMART?

 Click to collapse/expand...

SMART (www.smartam.org) solution is the first Java implementation of the User-Managed Access (UMA) protocol developed as open source project at Newcastle University as part of a JISC-funded project. It allows users to have centralised, flexible and fine-grained control over access to their personal information on the Web. Users define their sharing preferences at a single Authorization Manager using an intuitive user interface for creating identity-based and claims-based policies. Such sharing settings can be later applied to distributed data hosted by UMA-enabled Web applications, such as the online storage and gallery services provided as part of the SMART solution. More information about the project is available at http://smartjisc.wordpress.com and http://www.tinyurl.com/uma-wg
