Dear all,
Seamless Access Contract Language Working Group with both library and
publishers representatives led by Jason Griffey from NISO released Entity
Category Use Case Scenarios document for comments. The goal of the document
is to outline the various use cases in order to determine the overlap
between user access, authentication and authorization, attribute release,
and entity categories used in the federated authentication communication
between the Identity Provider and the Service Provider. These use cases
will be used to ground the contract language in real world examples.
You may like to check the document and add comments -

Enjoy tropic weekend

Hi -- Please excuse the cross-posting.
There is still time to register for the FIM / ORCID AFFINITY GROUP MEETING
Thursday, 17 June 2021 | 13:30 - 15:30 CEST (online)
Registration: https://events.geant.org/event/865/ (no charge)
*ABOUT THIS MEETING*
Collaboration between ORCID and the research/education community has grown
since ORCID's launch in late 2012:
- Federations lead ORCID consortia of institutions
- Academic libraries rely on ORCID iDs to attribute, catalog and
quantify scholarly communications outputs
- Research institutions use ORCID iDs to more accurately link
research contributors
- ORCID sign-in has been considered as an IdP of Last Resort for
research collaboration tools
- Unique Institutional credentials have been linked to over 320,000 ORCID
accounts
- ORCID iDs are included in the eduPerson schema
Conversations happen globally among ORCID, federation operators, library
and research organizations, practitioners, software providers, and
standards committees, though rarely over the entirety of this group at the
same time. During this meeting, we convene to consider strategic topics
that involve the ORCID platform or iDs, and deepen collaboration among the
ORCID and these communities.
*WHAT WE'LL TALK ABOUT*
This interactive meeting will include several discussion sessions:
1. *Inspiration: The Role of ORCID in Connection & Collaboration* - Omo
Oaiya, Chief Strategy Officer, WACREN
2. *ORICD & FIM: Today & Tomorrow* - Facilitated by Chris Shillum,
Executive Director, ORCID
3. *Use of the ORCID Platform* - Facilitated by Tom Demeranville,
Product Director, ORCID
4. *The ORCID Collaboration Network* - Facilitated by Gabi Mejias,
Engagement Manager, Global Consortia, ORCID
Hope to see you there!
Best, L

Hello everyone,
I hope you're doing well! Hereby a brief update about FIM4L activities.
----------
FIM4L<https://www.fim4l.org/> is a non-profit initiative led by libraries with the main purpose of creating and maintaining recommendations for configuring federated SSO authentication for library e-resources in the most privacy preserving way. It has a working group<https://libereurope.eu/working-group/liber-fim4l-working-group/> under the umbrella of LIBER<https://libereurope.eu/working-group/liber-fim4l-working-group/>, currently the base of FIM4L. FIM4L recommendations are published at the FIM4L website<https://www.fim4l.org/?page_id=257> and the Zenodo<https://zenodo.org/record/4118124#.X5GqWUIzblx> platform. Please join our Mailing List<https://lists.daasi.de/listinfo/fim4l> for information and discussions.

ACTIVITIES
Promotion
* LIBER 2021 conference; lighting talk <https://liber2021.sched.com/event/iu1U> by Jos, June 23 • 11:00 - 12:30 CEST
* UKSG webinar, presentation and panel discussion; Lee, Heather, Kelechi (Elsevier), Jos. 14 July, 15:00 hr. CEST.
* IFLA WLIC 2021<https://www.ifla.org/wlic2021> 17-19 Aug.; presentation by Peter Gietz and Jos
* We plan to submit a proposal for the UKSG 2022 annual conference.
Endorsement of FIM4L recommendations
The following research library associations are supporting the FIM4L principles & recommendations:
* Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL-ABRC)<https://www.carl-abrc.ca/>,
* Council of Australian University Librarians (CAUL)<https://www.caul.edu.au/>,
* LIBER<https://libereurope.eu/>,
* Research Libraries UK (RLUK)<https://www.rluk.ac.uk/>.
Towards a second version of FIM4L recommendations
We are working on a second version<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fae_IDch-wOkgnBD_3MaZCHOsQ7pLxzXvl7h7Vk…> of FIM4L recommendations. Comments are more than welcome. It's open for "anyone with the link" to comment. (FIM4L members have/can get edit rights, please let me know.)
The new version will be aligned with the new entity categories: FIM4L principle 4.A "transitory access" will meet REFEDS Anonymous Authorisation <https://refeds.org/category/anonymous> and FIM4L principle 4.B "personalized access" will meet REFEDS Pseudonymous Authorisation<https://refeds.org/category/pseudonymous>.
Especially 4.B is rewritten and the biggest change perhaps is that we introduced an "opt-out" option to not release a persistent identifier, while having the 4.B configuration in place. This enables us to recommend 4.B as the preferred configuration.
Other
We<https://libereurope.eu/working-group/liber-fim4l-working-group/members/> now have every two weeks a meeting of FIM4L on Tuesdays 16:00 hr, CEST. Rob (Duke University) and Ken (Internet2) and Heather (Seamless Access) joined our meetings and we talked about CAR<https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/display/CAR/CAR%3A+Consent-informed+Attribu…> software. CAR could be beneficial for implementing user consent on attribute release. Next meeting the second version of recommendations is on the agenda. If you would like to join, please let me know.
Raoul Teeuwen changed jobs and unfortunately had to leave FIM4L. We thank him for his great efforts!
All the best,
Jos

Hi all,
quite interesting for FIM4L and thus FYI:
On Mai, 20 the German Research Foundationy (Deutsche
Forschungsgesellschaft, DFG, one of the most influencial research
funding bodies in Germany) published a paper on "Data tracking in
research: aggregation and use or sale of usage data by academic
publishers"
(https://www.dfg.de/download/pdf/foerderung/programme/lis/datentracking_papi…)
with following contents:
1. Description of the current situation
2. The transformation of the major publishers and their relationshipwith
the academic community
2.1 Consequences of the transformation of publishers into data analytics
businesses
3. Types of Data mining
3.1 Third Party Data through Microtargeting
3.2 Bidstream Data and port scanning
3.3 Publisher spyware
4. Conclusion
Some sentences from the conclusion:
"Potentially, research tracking of this kind can fundamentally
contradict academic freedom and informational self-determination. It can
endanger scientists and hinder the freedom of competition in the field
of information provision. For this reason, scholars and academic
institutions must become aware of the problem and clarify the legal,
technical and ethical framework conditions of their information supply
–not least so as to avoid involuntarily violating applicable law, but
also to ensure that academics are appropriately informed and protected."
I think that in the light of such developments, our work gets even more
important.
Cheers,
Peter

Hi -- Please excuse the cross-posting.
ORCID would like to invite you to the following upcoming meeting, a side
meeting of TNC21. Hope to see you there!
*FIM / ORCID AFFINITY GROUP MEETING*
Collaboration between ORCID, Federation participants, and FIM solutions has
grown. Federations lead ORCID consortia of institutions; ORCID signin has
been considered as an IdP of Last Resort for research collaboration tools;
unique Institutional credentials have been linked to over 320,000 ORCID
accounts, ORCID iDs are included in the eduPerson schema; and iDs are
sometimes used to better understand identity linkages when individuals
change institutions. Conversations happen globally among ORCID, federation
operators, practitioners, software providers, and standards committees,
though rarely over the entirety of this group at the same time. Here we
convene to consider strategic topics that involve the ORCID platform or
iDs, and deepen collaboration among the ORCID and FIM communities.
Thursday, 17 June 2021 | 13:30 - 15:30 CEST (online)
Registration: https://events.geant.org/event/865/ (no charge)
WHO IS THIS MEETING FOR?
Individuals from federation operators, practitioners, software providers,
and standards committees that have been involved in ORCID connections. Also
welcome are individuals that want to learn more about how the ORCID and FIM
communities are collaborating.
Thanks!
Best, Laura Paglione (on behalf of ORCID)
