The REFEDS Entity Category Research and Scholarship (R&S) supports research and scholarship interaction, collaboration or management as an essential Component with release of mostly harmless attributes. For more information please see REFEDS Entity Category Research and Scholarship. |
R&S is used in the eduGAIN interfederation to make services available to users of the higher education institution around the world. The R&S makes it possible to automatically release mostly harmless attributes to Service Providers within the higher educational sector. The expected IdP behaviour is to release the Service Provider required subset of the R&S Category Attributes (eptid, eppn, email, displayName, surname, given name and scoped affiliation). The requested subset of attributes for a specific service is defined in metadata.
Example of services that uses the entity category includes (but are not limited to) collaborative tools and services such as wikis, blogs, project and grant management tools that require some personal information about users to work effectively. This Entity Category should not be used for access to licensed content such as e-journals.

The request must contain the following information:
- Purpose and scope of the service.
- A list off the subset from R&S Category Attributes
- Documentation which proves that the service has fulfilled all the requirements for R&S.
Upon receiving a request SWAMID operations will respond within two weeks.
