An open discussion list for topics related to the eduGAIN interfederation service.

Hi Niels

Whoever is the registration authority for that metadata is assumed to be the registrar for the R&S tag - ergo you shouldn't add a tagged service to edugain unless you as a federation have added the tag.  I'm not sure which CLARIN SP you were looking at but this is quite useful: https://technical.edugain.org/entities4.php.  It seems the answer is DFN for most of the CLARIN resources at the moment. 

Hope that helps

Hi all,

This may sound a bit academic, but who is the R&S 'registrar' in
eduGAIN? I know we are all assuming it to be the Federations (at least
thats is what I think), but I note there is nothing in either R&S
(rightfully so) or in eduGAIN that states this is the case.

The reason I ask is that I am now looking at CLARIN Service Provider
Federation metadata where they state their SP to be R&S, and I
realized there is no agreement in that federation on who is the
registrar either.

Cheers,

Niels
