The REFEDS Entity Category Research Candidates for the Research and Scholarship (R&S) supports Category are Service Providers that are operated for the purpose of supporting research and scholarship interaction, collaboration or management as an essential Component with release of mostly harmless attributes, at least in part. 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 institutions in Sweden and 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 release to the Service Provider a set of R&S Category Attributes (eptid, eppn, email, displayName, surname, given name and scoped affiliation plus the SWAMID addons eduPersonUniqueID and eduPersonAssurancee eduPersonAssurance). The requested subset of attributes for a specific service is defined in metadataService Providers signals their use of R&S via an entity category tag in metadata.. There is furthermore an identity provider entity support category that should be registered for all IdP Identity Providers that supports the R&S Category that and thit can be used for filter purpose in a discovery service.
