Use-Cases

Too many to work with all of them intensively at the same time Focus on 3 use-cases initially But we also keep in touch with other projects and provide consulting/expertise ([email protected])

Criteria for use-cases:

Time frame, variety, reproducibility, existing SAML know-how, contribution, feasibility, ...

Only web-based use-cases in context of eduGAIN –

Non-browser use-cases covered in GÉANT Moonshot pilot

Use-cases with heavy use of credential translation (e.g. X.509 to SAML) postponed because we (still) lack knowledge there connect • communicate • collaborate 7

May:

Use-case review and evaluation

June:

Decision on use-case collaboration and initial discussions Focus on DARIAH, ELIXIR, Umbrella (CRISP/PanData)
