2. Is the DG necessary? Can We Craft a problem statement?
(Wiki repository : http://kantarainitiative.org/confluence/display/AMDG/Repository)
Heather---It seems the industry agrees on a definition of attributes but where the group might be able to flex its muscle may be around attribute aggregation, meta data around attributes, trust?
The DG agrees.
The group is also more interested in roll related rather than authentication based attributes.
SCIM (Simple Cloud Identity Management) is highlighted here as an area to be researched/focused.
The problem statement is identifying the gaps as is called for in the charter.
Concerning aggregation, do we take it to the attribute and id providers and are there further buckets?
The group agrees that whilst there are other entities out there, it will focus its efforts on people.
Action Item 20111010-01 AMDG : Contribute use cases and current efforts to the wiki repository (link above).
Action Item 20111010-02 Heather : Link work being done by TERENA REFEDS (Research and Education Federations) into the wiki repository. (The group is being informed by EU policy makers and US folks in the Academic / Research sectors.)
