Goals of the Early Adopters Project
Primary Goals
- facilitate
campus deployments of core middleware technologies
- identify
reasonable technical and policy approaches, and design issues and factors, that
influence institutional selection of a particular approach enrich the technical
contents of Early Harvest
- inform the
larger community---for example, higher education more generally, NIH, and NSF
of requirements for middleware deployment and interoperability
Secondary Goals
- development
of the EDUPerson
- adherence to
IMS standards
- explore
medical middleware issues
generic---how is this expressed in the core
deployment?
specific---what medical data structures need
integration into campus environments?
- outreach to
encourage other institutions
- research
options for authorization services
- evaluate new
tools and technologies
Intended audience: Administrators, managers, developers,
systems staff
