localdomainPerson Survey
It is becoming common practice for institutions to extend their enterprise
directory schema with both the eduPerson object class and a local object
class that contains additional attributes not included in the eduPerson
specifications, referred to in this note as "localdomainPerson". Over time,
these localized object classes are modified to support the growing number
of directory-enabled applications at the institution and may grow to contain
a significant number of attributes.
The Internet2 MACE-Dir team would like to collect information from
institutions who have implemented these localized object class
attributes as opposed to standard schemas and eduPerson. Once collected,
this information will be analyzed in order to determine whether there
are patterns of deployment that can be recommended as common or best
practices and can inform future revisions of the eduPerson schema.
If you have implemented a localized object class at your institution,
please consider sharing your knowledge and experience with others by
providing responses to the following questions. The information we
receive will be published in an anonymous and aggregated fashion on a
MACE-Dir sponsored website and may be referenced in future white papers
and educational materials. Question 11 will allow you to indicate any
objection to the use of credited excerpts.
If you would prefer to complete a textual version of the survey, one
may be found at http://middleware.internet2.
edu/dir/ which should be e-mailed to Ann West and
Brendan Bellina.
