ANGEL 'successor' projects (in chronological order)
| Dates | Project name | Partners | Descriptions |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1/9/00 - 31/3/03 |
Angel | LSE, South Bank University, the University of Edinburgh, De Montfort University, Sheffield Hallam University, EDINA National Data Service | Created middleware services to integrate 'open' library resources into 'closed' online learning environments and courseware portals |
| 1/10/02 - 31/7/03 | DELIVER | LSE, De Montfort University | Designed and implemented practical software tools for end-users and administrators of institutional VLEs and Library Management Systems to facilitate the consistent creation and ease-of-use of course-based resource lists. |
| 1/10/02 - 31/7/03 | DEVIL | University of Edinburgh, Open University | Tested the functionality of the ANGEL tools for dynamic data integration of resources in the context of VLE-based courses. |
| 1/11/02 - 30/04/05 | SECURe | LSE | Addressed two key issues within the Access Management arena: An institution-wide deployment of PKI and authentication using personal digital certificates, and the creation and operational use of Web services and directory components to enable cross-domain access management. |
| 1/1/04 - 31/7/04 | UKeduPerson Study | LSE | A study that established the scope and requirements for a UK-specific metadata schema to provide for consistent descriptions and classifications of all students and staff involved in post-16 education. |
| 1/7/04 - 30/6/06 | PERSEUS | LSE | Addressed the key challenge of Shibboleth -based access management to information resources via an institutional portal, using the uPortal Open Source portal toolkit. |
| 01/4/05 - 30/4/06 |
ShibboLEAP | LSE, Birkbeck College, SOAS, Imperial College, King's College, UCL and Royal Holloway | Created a Shibboleth Identity-Provider ('Origin') service for all academic and support staff at each partner institution in the who are involved in controlled access to their respective institutional Eprints servers, and implemented modifications to their respective Eprints servers to enable them all as Shibboleth Resource-Providers ('Targets'). |
01/11/06 - 31/10/07 |
Led by the University of Cardiff and LSE, with 7 partner institutions |
Researched into and established consensus in the current practice and future needs of UK academic institutions in Identity Management. |
|
| 01/11/07 -31/03/09 | FLAME | LSE | Installing production-scale services for institutional Devolved Authority Management (DAM) and Attribute Release Policy (ARP) control, and a facility for ad-hoc Virtual Organisation Management (VOM). These services will be supported by an Enterprise Directory (being implemented by LSE independently of this project) and be integrated with a number of key target applications (including institutional Online Learning Environment and Research Papers Repository). |
| 01/11/07 - 31/07/08 |
FAR | LSE | Aims to apply Federated Access Management (FAM) principles to the repository environment. It will produce recommendations on the use of attributes for access control decisions; demonstrator versions of DSpace and EPrints which show these attributes in action; and a report suggesting how similar changes could be made to Fedora. |
| 01/01/09 - 30/06/10 |
The Identity Management Toolkit | LSE (Lead partner), Cardiff University , University of Bristol , Kidderminster College | Will produce an Identity Management Toolkit that fully meets all the requirements for successful Identity Management identified by The Identity Project . The main intended audience/users of the Toolkit to be produced will be institutional ICT directors, their managers and staff at universities and colleges in the UK. |
| 01/06/ 09 - 30/11/09 | The Multiple Affiliations Study | LSE | Study of the federated access issues for users with multiple affiliations which give access to different resources (e.g. through membership of professional bodies, or connections to several HEIs). The project will survey stakeholders and produce a report which will describe the issues involved, make informed judgements about the severity of the problem, and establish some requirements which any suggested solution should satisfy. Funded by Eduserv Foundation. |
