InCommon Celebrates 10th Anniversary
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the formation of InCommon. Stay tuned for more announcements and celebrations.
Two Sponsored Partners Approved for Research & Scholarship Category
InCommon's
Research & Scholarship (R&S) Category now includes 17 services with the addition of the DMP Tool
(California Digital Library) and
Multifactor Authentication Cohortium List Manager. There are 79 identity providers that have agreed to release the R&S attributes to the entire category.
The R&S Category applies to service providers that support research and scholarly activities such as virtual organizations and campus-based collaboration services. Participating IdPs agree to release a minimal set of attributes to the entire category.
