Topic: Federation standards

Session 2, Room 2

• Chair: Rob Baxter

Prompts

• What levels of standardisation do we need before we’ve got enough to be trustworthy?

• What can we standardise?

  • Can we think in terms of levels (a la DARE UK federation architecture)

• Managed vs unmanaged (“ptp”) federation: DARE UK argues for the first; is it possible to achieve trust through the second?

Notes

• Is about connecting services together. Connect TREs, data providers, users.

  • It stops before we go too much into architecture

• Without standardisation of those services, connecting them is not that valuable

  • How do we enforce a standard to the existing TRE landscape? Which would make it?

• Every month we are getting a new thing that says it is a federated standard
