Subject: A28a.2 - Prateek Mishra to publich Use-Case for taxonomy for naming attributes


After consulting with engineering, it appears that the following taxonomy is adequate:

 

(a)  Scope/AdministrativeDomain

(b)  Attribute Name

(c)  Attribute Values

 

In other words, looking at the current schema for <AttributeDesignator> in SAML 1.1, we use AttributeNameSpace to indicate the scope or administrative domain from which the attribute is extracted. This may be a logical notion or even the name of the directory/RDB.

 

If an additional "format" designator describing the attribute name is needed, the suggestion is that an additional XML attribute be used to hold this value.
