UKeduPerson Study

This is the home page of the UKeduPerson study, one of Middleware and Shared Services Studies funded by JISC. This page contains links to the documents created as a result of the study, including the UKeduPerson schema.

The UKeduPerson project study was undertaken by the LSE Library to establish the scope and requirements for a metadata schema to provide for consistent descriptions and classifications of all students and staff involved in post-16 education. A total of 30 UK institutions contributed to the research. The schema, facilitated by Shibboleth technology, will enable more sophisticated access to password-protected web resources. It will also support a UK national infrastructure for the Common Information Environment to allow UK academic institutions to share learning and teaching resources more freely.
