First Institutional Origin

Posted on Thursday, 1 January 1970

The University of Newcastle upon Tyne has become our first live institution-level origin site. Newcastle now has Shibboleth-enabled access to JISC information environment content via the SDSS federation. Earlier, AMIE (Attribute Management in an Institutional Environment) and IAMSECT (Inter-institutional Authorisation Management to Support eLearning with reference to Clinical Teaching) became the first JISC Core Middleware projects to join the federation. To give Newcastle users access to live data, a second EDINA service has been Shibbolized: BIOSIS, which contains bibliographic references for life sciences research (Newcastle does not subscribe to UPDATE, which was converted earlier).
