Along with our fellow OGC members; Cadcorp and EDINA, we've initiated an OGC Web Services (OWS) Shibboleth Interoperability Experiment (IE) to advance best practice for implementing standards on federated security in transactions involving geospatial data and services.
The IE will demonstrate use of Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) with OGC Web Services, including use of Shibboleth. This IE will build on practices from the European Spatial Data Infrastructure Network (ESDIN) project and on results from previous OGC initiatives on authentication.
Want to join us?
The OGC have opened a call for participation in the experiment and the registration deadline is 30 September 2010.

Here at Snowflake, we're proud of our close working relationship with the OGC and have been involved in several OGC testbeds including the most recent, OWS-7 Aviation thread.
