Session details

Session 1: Challenges in identifying and attributing knowledge contributors

Summary: Identification of authors and other contributors to scholarly works is a prerequisite for reliable, accurate attribution and research evaluation. This opening session focuses on long-standing challenges concerning scholarly identity, emerging solutions to these challenges, and opportunities presenting themselves, both for conventional publications and for new forms of digital research outputs which are increasingly important in today’s scientific research.

When: 13:30 – 15:00, Monday September 12, 2011

Chair: Gudmundur Thorisson

Session 2: E-infrastructure possibilities for authenticating and authorizing researchers whose identity is known/confirmed

Summary: Researchers need to be authenticated and authorised to access only those resources they are permitted to use. This session studies the existing work relying on the use of institutional identities for access control purposes and presents some early experiences from different disciplines.

When: 15:45 – 17:15, Monday September 12, 2011

Summary: This session studies the approaches taken elsewhere on leveraging other trust frameworks and interacting with other sectors  in authentication and authorisation.

Parallel breakout sessions

When: 10:00 – 13:00, Tuesday September 13, 2011

Breakout #1: Unique identifiers and the Digital Scholar

Chaired by Cameron Neylon and Jason Priem.

Summary: The case for effective and unique researcher identifiers has been made by many stakeholders including institutions, funders, publishers, policy advocates, and technical developers. However, despite this there is at best limited interest in the potential uses and implications of researcher identifiers from a key group, the researchers themselves. In this session we will explore the potential of services or tools that can offer a compelling value case for researchers, and seek to identify courses of action that could deliver that value case in a way that will increase the awareness and engagement of researchers in the development and discussion of identifier infrastructure. The workshop will be discussion driven throughout.

Programme:

  • Introduction
    • Main question: what are the three features that will drive adoption from researchers, and can be implemented in the next six months?
    • present some sample ideas
  • Breakout groups: develop and list potential tools and services for researchers
  • Report back and discussion: selection of the top three ideas
  • Breakout groups: one group to work on implementation of each idea
  • Final report back and summary for report back to main group

Breakout #2: What do researchers need from the authentication and authorisation infrastructure (AAI)?

Chaired by Brook Schofield.

Summary: What functionality do scientific services expect from the AAI? This breakout focuses on the requirements such as strength of authentication, harmonisation of attributes, compliance and audits of the AAI, ease of adoption to the scientific service and  and ease of use for the end user.
