RE: [Bodington-developers] call for partners and leaders in a portability and biometrics project

[Adam M. <ada...@co...>]

I have asked around OUCS about this. I'll let you know if there's any takers
or good leads. It's not really on our roadmap as such.

| Hi Alistair,
| 
| No paper as such, but thats the thing here we are looking to colab and
| cooperate on this first.
| 
| So to coin a phrase we might call it openPBS
| 
| Primarily driven from disatisfaction with ims eportfolio and the endless
| debate regards unique id...
| 
| The proposal would.. perhaps, be for a group of us to research and
| develop a pilot for convenient, secure and reassuring methods for
| students to move between organisations in the context of lifelong
| learning.
| 
| Asserting with biometrics perhaps...
|  - we could aim to reduce identity theft
|  - improve data control etc
| 
| Furthermore biometric identity provides us a variety of potential
| interoperability...
| more assertion...
| - Once registered somewhere, things speed up for the biometric user
| - systems can tag electronic artifcacts with biometric data
| - Ed I's may even issue real world objects such as a student card,
| passport or even a paper certifcate with embedded biometric identity
| 
| biometrics aren't always that expensive, thumbprint, retinal,
| handwriting recognition...
| 
| Personally I would be advocating simplest and cheapest first... which
| provides the users [admin and users] most convenience
| But collectively is the real point of bringing this out in the open, its
| not just about some folks from Phos-dev
| 
| So we would like to colaborate on a draft...
| 
| Any others up for this first step? Any potential lead institution out
| there?
|

| 
| 
| 
| on one occasion i did challenge for dna but that would be expensive and
| it may take a week or so to login :)
