Overview
Programs such as the US Government's Open Science initiative are likely to drive requirements for attributes beyond "researcher" and "member". Resource Providers will need additional information about a person’s qualifications in order to determine access to their services. This work item intends to
- Capture use cases for open access/open science in order to identify the various classes of problems that will need to be addressed
- Collate and compare existing community efforts that may be able to support these use cases and authorization decisions
- Make recommendations for how the identified problems could be addressed.
A group mailing list is available at: https://lists.refeds.org/sympa/info/open-science.
Terms
The following terms apply to all REFEDS Working Groups:
- When a working group is agreed, REFEDS Participants will be asked if they wish to participate. Working Groups tend to be small, so consensus can be achieved quickly between participants.
- A chair for the group is chosen from the REFEDS Participants.
- GÉANT provides facilities for the working group, including meeting support, wiki space, mailing lists and, where appropriate, funding.
- An appropriate output from the group is produced. Currently, this is typically a draft white paper or a wiki page.
- When the Working Group is in agreement, the chair shares the outputs with the wider REFEDS community with an open period for discussion and comment. This is typically a period of 4 weeks, but may be longer if appropriate.
- After this period of time, the REFEDS Steering Committee signs off on the work item. Work is either written up as a formal white paper, left on the wiki but promoted as finished work or occasionally submitted as an Internet Draft.
