Thanks for all of the responses. If any of you are slightly curious
about the why I'm asking.... (the rest can stop reading now)
We are looking at trying to pull in some more services to the UK
federation that could usefully reduce administration and provide a
better service by being able to get 'verified student' status via
attributes rather than photocopied letters, cards etc. etc. I'm
thinking TfL, british rail, student travel services, NUS services etc.
etc. We already have a small handful of services doing this within the
federation (student unions, a student accommodation service, a couple of
commercial organisations) but its an area I'd like to see grow.
Ambitious, and we could probably use the help of you all to help target
people within various services that we could talk to. There's some good
examples of these types of SPs over at the Edugate federation:
