DARIAH

• Digital Research Infrastructure for the Arts and Humanities
• One of the few ESFRI research infrastructures for the humanities
• A DARIAH-EU ERIC is well on its way
• DARIAH’s mission is to develop, maintain and operate an

infrastructure in support of ICT-based research practices

• Infrastructure is administration, software and storage services but

also Curricula and Methodology

• Working with communities of practice: humanities scholars

supporting their VREs (Virtual Research Environment), such as TextGrid

• DARIAH-DE and TextGrid (which is migrating to DARIAH-AAI) have

together about 1800 users in Homeless IdPs.

• DARIAH is cooperating with „enabling users“ activitiy and is in a

„Code of Conduct“ uptake activity.

AAI Requirements

• The AAI service must be easy to use, ideally using

their own institutional credentials (if available) on a Europe-wide and international Level

• Single sign-on to all (DARIAH) resources, tools

and services

• In an ideal world, researchers could use the same

credential in any 'academic' context.

• Authorisation granularity, e.g. access to 'sensitive

data'

• Authorization of non-web-based services

Are the Requirements Met?

NO

• European-wide federation eduGain has too little
• utreach
• Not every institution signs federation contracts
• Not every Identity Provider releases

personal attributes

• Technologies for non-web-based access only

“almost there” (ECP, Moonshot, oAuth2)

Are the Requirements Met?

YES

• DARIAH has a productive solution based
• n homeless-IdP and attribute authority
• Distributed user and priviledge administration
• Roadmap for a sustainable service unit
• Policies that allow for integration into

DFN-AAI and thus into eduGain
