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 both within SWAMID and 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 set of R&S Category Attributes (eptid, eppn, email, displayName, surname, given name and scoped affiliation plus the SWAMID addons eduPersonUniqueID and eduPersonAssurancee). The requested subset of attributes for a specific service is defined in metadata. There is furthermore an identity provider entity support category that should be registered for all IdP that supports the R&S Category that can be used for filter purpose in a discovery service.
