"Statement of work" for a collab group on identifiers
I forgot I guess I offered to draft a short statement on what the goals of
a group to work on identifiers would be.
I think Mark's comment remains a really good start:
To better understand the motivations behind the current misuse of
attributes and how best to help solve immediate problems while steering
implementers toward better practices.
So how about:
"A challenging aspect of federating applications and achieving
interoperability across the large and diverse set of identity-providing
organizations in InCommon centers around the identification of users and
the storage of user account information in application databases. We term
the attributes used for these purposes "identifiers". A number of
identifier attributes exist, with different properties, but often their
limitations are unclear to service providers, and applicatons that were
designed in a non-federated past may have limitations that require
compromises.
The proposed group would like to better understand the motivations behind
current use (and misuse) of identifiers, and how best to help solve
immediate problems while steering implementers of federated services
toward better practices."
