An introduction to RA21: Resource Access for the 21st Century
c/o Jisc, Brettenham House, 5 Lancaster Place, London WC2E 7EN
Friday 7 July 2017
RA21 <https://ra21.org/> (Resource Access for the 21st Century) is a joint
STM <http://www.stm-assoc.org/> and NISO <http://www.niso.org/home/>
initiative aimed at facilitating a seamless user experience for consumers of
scientific communication when they seek access to scholarly resources, by
optimizing protocols across key stakeholder groups, such as Libraries, ID
management services, platform and content providers and publishers.
The project aims to:
* Recommend new solutions for access strategies beyond IP recognition
practices
* Explain the standard measures that publishers, libraries and
end-users should undertake for better protocols and security
* Test and improve solutions by organizing pilots in a variety of
environments for the creation of best practice recommendations
This morning event will provide an overview of the challenges RA21 is
seeking to address, particularly where they apply to end users and
librarians, provide an introduction to and update on all RA21 pilots and
will actively engage attendees in taking forward plans for the two pilots
being undertaken in the academic space, particularly in relation to the user
experience.
The morning will be followed by a networking lunch.
For anyone unable to attend in person, the plenary session will be made
available remotely as the first in a series of webinars for RA21. Please
ensure that you select the 'Remote participant' option when registering so
that the relevant access information can be sent out to you.
Who should attend?
Library representatives, publishers, educational access management
federations, vendors and service providers.

About the Academic pilots:
RA21 Privacy Preserving Persistent WAYF Pilot (P3W)
The RA21 Privacy Preserving Persistent WAYF (P3W) pilot seeks to validate
the use of SAML-based federated authentication technologies to provide
seamless access to scholarly resources for authorized users at participating
institutions. The pilot seeks to demonstrate how institutional login
credentials can be leveraged to provide a similar level of seamless access
to scholarly resources that today's IP address authentication provides
through significantly streamlined Where Are You From (WAYF) UI flows whilst
preserving the privacy of the end user.
The pilot will include participants at academic institutions that subscribe
to scholarly resources, publishers, educational access management
federations, vendors and service providers.
WAYF Cloud Pilot
The WAYF Cloud pilot seeks to validate the use of a cloud service to
facilitate the exchange of information between publisher platforms for the
purpose of Identity Provider discovery.
The pilot will leverage academic authentication systems for user access to
publisher platforms and will demonstrate how the exchange of information
between publisher platforms can reduce the repetition of user actions across
publishers and provide the same type of seamless access to scholarly
resources that today's IP address authentication provides.
Participants in the WAYF Cloud pilot will include academic organizations,
service providers, publisher with content on the Literatum platform from
Atypon and publishers with content on other publishing platforms willing to
integrate their platforms to the WAYF Cloud service (it may also be
necessary to include their platform vendors).
