AquaBrowser Library will support OpenID for logging into your library stuff.
Going beyond that, Jeremy touches a good point on trust. Since AquaBrowser
is cross-datasource (ILSes, DBs, etc - both indexed and federated) we are
considering hooking into auth systems under water, by allowing users to

Right, except OpenID isn¹t going to do this; there needs to be an
infrastructure in place where OpenID (or some other standard persistent
identifying system) can sit on top of, and that¹s still the big problem.
Right, that's exactly what Nathan's original post suggested. Are we

Back in January on NGC4LIB I proposed doing this, a universal ID system to
use when browsing, using the FOAF structure. I got back answers that told
me they were not getting the concept. This discussion on OpenID is very
interesting and I hope this can be made to work.

I haven't seen this mentioned yet, but it seems to me that another possible
application of OpenID might be to uniquely digital identifier for authors.
In other words, the OpenID could serve as a basis for a sort of open access
authority control service (in addition to the obvious single sign-on

i can see many library administrators being skeptical about openid...

My rule about Shibboleth is that it takes twice as long to implement as
you planned, even if you take this rule into account. That was funny
when we were in the second year of a one-year implentation timetable.
Now that we're in the fifth year

Ah ha! /That's/ the problem with Shibboleth -- every time anyone tries to
implement it, they say it incorrectly and are subsequently killed, sending
the institution back to square one.

Ultimately, I'd hope to see libraries agree on a set of attributes
for classifying patrons, building registries of trusted providers,
and using this as basis for offering services outside our own
institutions. (There's a Mashing Up The Library entrant floating

I haven't seen much in library world outside of some talk/discussion.
I did come across one academia that did implement it:

Not sure if it's taken off much otherwise in the academic or public

That would work if both (or all) library systems shared access to the
same online resources equally.
Or I suppose one could have a system of automatic forwarding/
authentication based on id? That would be cool, but I wonder how
hard would it be to implement?
