Introduction
by Bush,Judith 18 Okt '19

18 Okt '19

Hello, I’m the Identity and Access Management Architect at OCLC. My background in identity management began with managing the first OCLC developer who worked on EZproxy after it was acquired by OCLC, and then managing the team that built the system that supports Identity management in the WorldShare product. Since then I’ve moved to the architecture role and have become involved at federation and inter-federation level working groups. I’m comfortable with my name and OCLC affiliation being published at the FIM4L website judith

Announcement
by Jos Westerbeke 07 Okt '19

Dear all, We are very happy to announce that we can start a LIBER working group for FIM4L. As many of you know, we were looking for an umbrella for FIM4L since its start, and we’re happy to share LIBER has agreed to be just that for the next year (at what time both parties will evaluate the fit). LIBER<https://libereurope.eu/about-us/> is a solid EU research library association (450 libraries) and we're glad that they will now provide a platform to work towards our goal<https://daasi.de/de/fim4l/#1560772737125-6fdbf4c2-f536>. Thanks to the work of Peter G., Jiri and Raoul, and also Birgit Schmidt (cc, Chair of the Steering Committee for Research Infrastructure, LIBER) we can start this working group. What are our plans so far? The LIBER working group FIM4L will work for a year (until end 2020) and the following deliverables are planned: * FIM4L Guidelines and Recommendations * Liaise with other initiatives (IFLA etc.) and cooperate with activities such as SeamlessAccess.org<https://seamlessaccess.org/> * Identify and describe good practice examples, and integrate these into the guidelines * Presentation of the guidelines and discussion/prioritization of the recommendations * Promoting the best way of using FIAM/SSO technologies while preserving patron privacy The idea is to publish our Guidelines and Recommendations as an IFLA standard<https://www.ifla.org/standards>. As both FIM4L and LIBER recognize the work FIM4L has planned could benefit libraries all over the world, and as our FIM4L community also consists of many non-European members, we think that it would be beneficial to make any recommendations be acceptable around the globe and that it would be beneficial to have global coverage in the governance body of FIM4L. Thus FIM4L has already commenced talks with IFLA as they have a global scope. We are also happy to see our email listserv has grown to +50 members. We appreciate your valuable collaboration and are looking forward to move on as a global initiative. Furthermore: * Caroline Checkley (University of Essex) represents FIM4L in the JISC UKFAM group. * I have been asked to join the (post RA21) SeamlessAccess Coalition and have accepted. In the coalition I will represent FIM4L. The coalition is heading the same way concerning attribute release. We are looking forward to cooperating with them, sharing libraries' concerns.

Fwd: Open invitation to participate in the Seamless Access Entity Category and Attribute Bundles Working Group
by Heather Flanagan 03 Okt '19

Hola a todos! Some of you will have seen this invitation via other lists; apologies for the duplication of so. But if you haven’t seen it, it’s an invitation to participate in a new working group to discuss and define attribute release. This is broader than just publisher/library (we’re very much hoping to see research participation as well); anyone interested in scholarly information sharing via FIM is more than welcome to participate. Drop me a note by 15 October 2019 if you are interested in what I hope will be a very active working group! Heather > Begin forwarded message: > > From: Heather Flanagan <heather(a)seamlessaccess.org> > Subject: Open invitation to participate in the Seamless Access Entity Category and Attribute Bundles Working Group > > > As the world comes back from summer (and winter) breaks, it’s time to pick up the question that the RA21 project noted as a future task: appropriate attribute release. To that end, SeamlessAccess.Org <http://seamlessaccess.org/> is pulling together a working group of individuals to discuss and define what attributes are appropriate to release to allow for different the varying use cases of access to scholarly information resources. We are particularly hoping for participants with experience of the challenges and issues involved in managing attribute release at an educational institution from either the library, institutional IT, or federation operator perspectives. > > The draft charter <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VB-REjGagr0kDTjp4kFEN1Z6OKWC_d6bisClImJ…> (which the working group will finish) states: > > --- > The purpose of this working group is to define and promote a set of attribute release profiles and associated entity categories applicable to the access of scholarly information resources and services in the context of federated authentication. > > The group will identity one or more categories of scholarly information resources with regards to use cases involving anonymity, personalization, library walk-ins, hospital/clinical settings, research collaborations, and corporate libraries. The group will then define standard attribute release policies and attribute sets applicable to each category, and ways for SPs to signal, via entity categories, when the release of such attribute sets are appropriate. The goal is to have these and profiles adopted and/or endorsed by global research and education federations, library communities, and other stakeholder groups. > — > > This committee will exist for the duration of the beta-development and -deployment phase of SeamlessAccess.Org <http://seamlessaccess.org/>. At the conclusion of the beta phase, the governance group will determine what kind of structure, including all sub-committees, should exist for any future production services, which might include the continuation of this group. > > The group will be asked to come up with initial recommendations by 31 December 2019. The second half of the beta phase (which runs through 30 June 2020) will be refining the initial recommendations and soliciting buy in from relevant communities to start implementing and/or endorsing the profiles. > > If you are interested in participating in this working group, please contact me, Heather Flanagan <heather(a)seamlessaccess.org <mailto:heather@seamlessaccess.org>>, by 15 October 2019, and I will add you to the appropriate Google Group. We will have a kick off meeting in October, and expect active discussion on the group mailing list. > > Thank you for your consideration!
