An edu-ID for research and education in Germany - technical concept: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7418055 (German)

An open working group was founded at the spring conference of the ZKI AK Directory Services 2019 at the TU Braunschweig,

  • ideally with the participation of members from universities, libraries, research institutions and communities
  • to think about the functionality and scope of a possible edu-ID service and
  • to draw up a corresponding requirements profile

In a further step, an operating and cost model as well as a concept and a roadmap for the technical implementation (should it ever get that far) must then be developed.
