eduPerson is a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) schema designed to include widely-used person and organizational attributes in higher education. The eduPerson object class provides a common list of attributes and definitions, drawing on the existing standards in higher education. Related object classes include:
eduOrg
eduMember (The work of eduMember has concluded its activities for the present, and all work has migrated to the Grouper project.)
eduCourse (The eduCourseCourseID group has completed its work and is dormant at present. You may still find archival information and support in the wiki for MACE-Dir.)
Development of eduPerson was originally created and supported with funding from Internet2, and was formally transitioned to REFEDS for management on 15 October 2018.
