Subject Identifiers Webinar
Posted on Friday, 28 May 2021
The team at Jisc supporting the UK federation, hosted a webinar on the 26th May 2021 covering the topic of Subject Identifiers in the federation, which is relevant for all participants. This a chance to introduce the issue of dealing with Subject Identifier (including the widely used eduPersonTargetedID) and the issues of those transitioning and changing with the UK federation.
