[tdwg-tag] OpenID - is it for us?

[Donald.Hobern at csiro.au]

Roger,

 

No special comments on OpenID, but the ALA is expected to make use of
the services of the Australian Access Federation (as they come into
existence).  The AAF (http://www.aaf.edu.au/) expects to provide a
Shibboleth/PKI Trust Federation on behalf of Australian research
organisations.  I would expect the ALA ultimately to serve as
infrastructure for connecting e.g. biosecurity officers not only with
public-access data sets but also with more restricted data sets mediated
via AAF services.  In other words, I have an interest in this area and
in any approaches and models adopted elsewhere in the biodiversity
informatics community.
