The City University of New York, which pays my salary, is an umbrella for seventeen separate campuses (Hunter College, CCNY, Queens College...). Each of these campuses has a fair amount of autonomy, but all agree we need a university-wide directory. EduPerson doesn't seem quite adequate for this problem. Not only can a person have multiple "affiliations", but we need to capture what his/her relationship is with each campus: a student at the graduate center, adjunct faculty at Lehman College, etc. The Stanford tree contains mutliple "gateway" related attributes, and I wondered whether these might not be intended to address a similar problem, though it isn't clear just what they are used for. Is there any more documentation anywhere on the usage of these attributes? Or has anyone else on the list confronted a similar problem to ours -- namely the multiple affiliation/multiple institution matrix? --- You are currently subscribed to [email protected] as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word UNSUBSCRIBE as the SUBJECT of the message.
