The need of interoperability among different components and the need of = exchanging information outside institutional and sometime outside national = boundaries have increased awareness of the role that attributes play.
The SCHema for ACademia, SCHAC, is the result of the work carried out in= the area of attributes coordination to address inter-institutional data ex= change, recognised by the TF-EMC2 group as a real need.
SCHAC aims to define and promote common schemas in the field of higher e= ducation to facilitate inter-institutional data exchange.
SCHAC is a collection of schemas that aim to facilitate interoperability= among those institutions that decide to use them. SCHAC does not aim to re= place the national schemas, but rather it aims to provide a common framewor= k on top of the various national schema.
The first release of "SCHAC Individual Attributes Specification" was iss= ued in May 2006. The release defines a set of attributes to describe indivi= duals in the academic and research institutions and contains an appropriate= LDAP profile in appendix. The current SCHAC release, published in April 20= 15, as well as previous releases and proposed updates, can be downloaded fr= om the download page
SCHAC schema is updated anytime proposals for updates are agreed by the = SCHAC community.
If you have use-cases for new SCHAC attributes or you would like to sugg= est changes to the current SCHAC attributes, the best way to do that is to = send emails to the schema-discuss mailing = list.
Proposals for changes are discussed on the SCHAC mailing list for commun= ity feedback and approved by the Schema Editorial= Board. If consensus is reached on a proposed change, then the new attr= ibutes or the updated attributes are added to the SCHAC schema on the next = new release.
