Agenda

Notes

  • Board is interested in progress we're making. What is the level of interest from outside institutions?
  • LoA - For RIAR-2, we may need to look at Level of Assurance for grant making, federation, etc.
  • Registration and Identity Proofing - How likely are we correctly verifying people?
  • See LoA information in Sakai wiki
  • We may not care about LoA when getting information from batch. At first, it may be a Web UI thing.
  • Batch Formats & Methods of Transport
    • CSV, Fixed Width, XML - Definitely
    • Other options: Excel
    • Transports: SFTP (Push and Pull), Asynchronous HTTPS
    • Response: Initial response of "we got the file" and then notification schemes for when the processing is done.
    • Other: Pulling data from someone's data source
  • Normalization occurs into standard tables (raw remain for purposes of debugging, etc.)
  • CSV -> Parse/Load(validate, with flagging with bad stuff) -> Normalize/Standardize -> Calculations (includes Reconciliation?) (assign attributes, etc.) may need tweaking [calculate may be a very bad term to use, we should revisit]
  • Step 1: Kick out records, Step 2: Operates over 1 SOR, Step 3: Operates over 2 or more SORs
