  2. Background • Vidmid formed in early 2001 • Spent some time naming and scoping • Cast a wide net for important activities within video that needed middleware • Critical insight and momentum from ViDe leaders - Jill Gemmill, UAB; Tyler Johnson, UNC; Mairead Martin, UTK; Egon Verharen (Surfnet); Grace Agnew (Ga. Tech.), Mary Fran Yafchek (SURA), Marcus Buchhorn (ANU) and others. (www.vide.net) • Focus now on videoconferencing and video-on-demand for their middleware requirements • Significant component of NSF Middleware Initiative (NMI)

  3. Key folks • Egon Verharen - chair of Videoconferencing • Tyler Johnson, UNC • Albert School, OARnet • Mairead Martin - chair of Video-on-demand • Steve Olshansky - flywheel extraordinaire • DirT - directory services leadership - Keith Hazelton, Michael Gettes, Tom Barton, Richard Jones • Scott Cantor, Steven Carmody, RL “Bob” Morgan - Shibboleth leadership

  4. A Map of Middleware

  5. Core Middleware Areas • Identifiers - syntax, semantics, reuse and reassignment policies • Authentication - best practices for I and A, Web-ISO, Shibboleth • Directories - structures, objectclasses, metadirectories, large-scale directories, resource discovery, interrealm, groups • Authorization - access control mechanisms, Shibboleth • PKI - for encryption, authentication, signing

  6. Identity Services on One Slide Objectclass standards (e.g.eduPerson, gridperson, eduOrg) Content Portals Shibboleth exchange of attributes Future PKI DODHE et al Grids et al Interrealm Learning Management Systems Security Domain Personal Portals Video client Web services and servers Enterprise video dir WebISO Enterprise directory Campus authentication Future PKI

  7. NSF Middleware Initiative • Three year cooperative agreement between NSF and two teams: • Internet2/EDUCAUSE/SURA • GRIDs Center • Goals are to promote a consistent and comprehensive middleware infrastructure that enables science and research and assists in a wider deployment throughout the higher ed community • First year targets: • Directories • Security • Videoconferencing
