[DG-AM] specific feedback sought for report - schema

[Heather Flanagan]

I have links to work in the higher ed space regarding attribute managements. Do we have anything similar to use for the commercial and government sectors available? I'm not seeing anything in the repository and I know there is work being done out there...

h2. Common language - Schema

h3. Efforts in this space:

Higher Education
* [the eduPerson schema|http://middleware.internet2.edu/eduperson/]

Commercial

Government

Many of the schema efforts in Europe were consolidated into the TERENA SCHAC initiative (originally the Schema Harmonization effort, but now the SCHema for ACademia effort) which is currently at version 1.4.1, July 2011. See <http://www.terena.org/activities/tf-emc2/schac.html>.

I documented several of the government backed attribute definition/management efforts in the 2006 white paper "Higher-Education Persn: A Comparative Analysis of Collaborative Public LDAP Person Object Classes in Higher-Education" located at <http://middleware.internet2.edu/dir/docs/draft-internet2-mace-dir-higher-ed-person-analysis-latest.htm>. I do not know how many of those remain active. I suspect many of them migrated to SCHAC.

In government, the only one I know about is Finland's Suomi.fi

Cc'ing in Keith here who may be able to help. What I think we see on this portal is the *result* of the attribute management. We can't see the actual working group that manages it..and that may not be available in English anyways.

Another government example:

I've been working on identity attribute data standards for the Province of British Columbia, the western-most province of Canada.
I helped write this reference model about identity attributes about people and their relationships with others in a government context.
http://www.cio.gov.bc.ca/local/cio/standards/documents/standards/identity_information_reference_model.pdf
I wrote this standard on an initial set of attributes (claims) about 2 years ago, with the intention to use them across SAML2, WS-Federation or IMI protocols. http://www.cio.gov.bc.ca/local/cio/standards/documents/standards/claims_information_standard.pdf
Sometime in the next year I hope to put out an update with more attributes that my team is working on.

We are currently developing our solution that implements our models and standards. We are going to start issuing new chip-enabled driver licence smartcards to our citizens later this year. We are building the underlying infrastructure now, which will include (SAML) identity provider interfaces issuing these identity attributes. You can read a bit more in this recent news article: http://www.timescolonist.com/touch/story.html?id=6067010
Of course the news article doesn't describe exactly what we're up to, but for those of you in the identity management field, you should be able to read between the lines.

To take it one more step further, our solution and standards developed in British Columbia are proposed to be used across Canada, in other provinces.

Sorry I haven't participated much in this working group yet. I'm here, listening, but have been quite busy working on our internal identity management projects.

There are equivalents to eduPerson in the health sector. ISO 21091:2011 has been prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 215 "Health informatics" and defines HCConsumer, HCEmployee and HCProfessional (all derived from inetOrgPerson), and various other object classes such as HCRegulatedOrganization, HCPayer, HCSupportingOrganization etc. Some attributes are derived from HL7 and carry the OIDs from that namespace.

The Austrian government defined attribute sets for gvOrgPerson, again derived from inetOrgPerson. In the SAML representation the attribute assertion comprises a fixed set of (mandatory and optional) attributes, mapped into a flat list using the x500-based nameformat.
