5. What has happened so far • March: FIM4R workshop in Villigen, CH • Suggestion to collect use-cases • April: GÉANT3plus started • GÉANT3plus Enabling Users Task + REFEDS invited to submit use-cases ... and which use-cases were submitted?

6. 11 Use-Cases Submitted CLIPC

7. Use-Cases • Too many to work with all of them intensively at the same time • Focus on 3 use-cases initially • But we also keep in touch with other projects and provide consulting/expertise (edugain-integration@geant.net) • Criteria for use-cases: • Time frame, variety, reproducibility, existing SAML know-how, contribution, feasibility, ... • Only web-based use-cases in context of eduGAIN • Non-browser use-cases covered in GÉANT Moonshot pilot • Use-cases with heavy use of credential translation (e.g. X.509 to SAML) postponed because we (still) lack knowledge there

8. May: Use-case review and evaluation • June: Decision on use-case collaboration and initial discussions • Focus on DARIAH, ELIXIR, Umbrella (CRISP/PanData) • July: Agreed work plan with Umbrella • August/September: • Work with DARIAH on Document "Options to join eduGAIN"More on that by Ann Harding • Work with Umbrella (CRISP/PanData) on architecture options to implement bridging
