An InCommon Roadmap for NSF CyberinfrastructureAbstractPI: William BarnettThe InCommon project describes activities to produce a guidance document for use by NSF Cyberinfrastructure (CI) projects, their researchers, their users, and campus policy makers, in adopting and using the technologies and policies that make up the identity federation among US campuses called InCommon. Working off existing InCommon documentation, this Roadmap document will focus as much on the motivations and policies as the technologies for joining and participating in the InCommon federation. The document will include advice to NSF as well. The document will be produced under the auspices of an editorial board of technical and policy experts with approval of a final version to be approved by the ACCI Campus Bridging Task Force. Metrics of success for the Roadmap document relate to increased membership and use of federated identity. These metrics therefore address quantitatively the criterion of Broader Impact. Intellectual merit is noted by the proposal as how to overcome the policy, technical, and social challenges in producing clear and concise guidance.In reality, a single expert will be doing the vast majority of work on this document. The creator of GridShib, along with the identified members of the editorial board, are highly qualified to produce a sound Roadmap. A key driver for adoption and use of this document will be in the motivations for use of InCommon, properly situated as the first thrust area. The proposal includes a detailed timeline and defines the three thrust areas appropriately. The process of using a stellar editorial board with required approval of the ACCI Campus Bridging Task Force ensures the release of a Roadmap that is both technically sound and fully responsive to the needs of CI-centric projects and capabilities of campus CI. If successful, this document will be a cornerstone for wider scale adoption and use of federated identity as defined by the InCommon Federation, the predominant trust fabric in existence today across academic campuses, while providing NSF a reference for the community in defining a path toward achieving the goal of shared CI.

NSF 网络基础设施 InCommon 路线图 AbstractPI：William Barnett InCommon 项目描述了制定指导文件的活动，供 NSF 网络基础设施 (CI) 项目、其研究人员、用户和校园政策制定者采用和使用构成美国校园之间称为 InCommon 的身份联合的技术和政策。该路线图文件以现有的 InCommon 文档为基础，将重点关注加入和参与 InCommon 联盟的动机和政策以及技术。该文件还将包括对 NSF 的建议。该文件将在技术和政策专家编辑委员会的主持下编写，最终版本将由 ACCI 校园桥接工作组批准。路线图文件的成功衡量标准与成员数量的增加和联合身份的使用有关。因此，这些指标定量地解决了更广泛影响的标准。该提案的智力价值在于如何克服政策、技术和社会挑战，制定清晰、简洁的指南。实际上，该文件的绝大多数工作将由一名专家完成。 GridShib 的创建者以及编辑委员会的确定成员都非常有资格制定完善的路线图。采用和使用本文档的关键驱动力在于使用 InCommon 的动机，它被恰当地定位为第一个推力领域。该提案包括详细的时间表并适当定义了三个重点领域。使用一流编辑委员会并获得 ACCI 校园桥接工作组批准的过程可确保发布技术可靠且充分响应以 CI 为中心的项目和校园 CI 功能的需求的路线图。如果成功，该文件将成为更广泛采用和使用 InCommon Federation（当今学术校园中存在的主要信任结构）所定义的联合身份的基石，同时为 NSF 社区定义实现共享 CI 目标的路径提供参考。
