TitleService Catalogue in a Federated world
Description

What if we had common specifications on services exposed to eduGAIN that would allow us to build a service catalogue ? 

We could consider having a first level catalogue, of services offered by NRENs. Then expand this to federation members.

Which requirements would be needed to have such catalogue ? and what are the benefits and risks related to that.

Comment from SURF: possibly first enhance MET to showcase the (meta)data instead on investing time on this topic

TitleEnsure MET is maintained
Description

MET (https://met.refeds.org/) is widely used. However the issues list is not being addressed and there are frequently operational issues with the service.

Proposal is to first facilitate the community of MET users to articulate their requirements for a MET service (including but not limited to issues on GitHub) and present some potential ways forward.

The REFEDS White Paper "Service Catalogues in a Federated Context" includes a proposal to consolidate the MET and eduGAIN metadata catalogues so this proposed work item may overlap with Anass CHABLI 's proposal for the work item above.
