The COIN Project Collaboration Infrastructure

The COIN Project - Resulting infrastructure - Is a synergy between federated IdM & Group middleware, social networking and collaboration tools - Create an infrastructure to support: - Small team collaboration - Virtual Organizations (‘run’ your own) - Campus use: combine local and ‘remote’ services

The COIN Project Platform Features - IdP and SP (SAML 2.0) - Group Relation Providers - Attribute aggregation - IdP and SP registry - VO Registry  VO IdP - OpenSocial ‘Gadgets’ for GUI (Apache Shindig)

Groups in COIN - Groups are managed centrally - Any acceptable user can become a collabmin - Groups provide context for applications - Groups feature (only) 3 roles (admin, collabmin, member) - Group + VO Registry  VO IdP

Why OpenSocial ? - Open 'Social Data' API for exchanging information on people, groups, activities, etc (Javascript and REST API) - But also, - general purpose web integration technology ('Gadgets') - Open standard browser based components - vendor neutral & platform independent Portability Write once, deploy anywhere - Large user community -> wide spread adoption
