Comment: Updated Organisation Interoperability based on comments from f2f meeting

...

Organisational interoperability focuses on involves aligning the goals, workflows, and responsibilities of different entities involved in identity wallets and distributed identity systems. This includes. Our approach begins by focusing on the Research and Education (R&E) sector in the EU and EEA, with an emphasis on alignment (or integration?) with the European Digital Identity (EUDI) Wallet initiative. This initial phase targets four key organisational categories:

  1. National Research and Education Networks (NRENs)
  2. Collaborative R&E initiatives, such as Erasmus Without Paper, that operate across institutional and national boundaries.
  3. Higher education institutions, including universities and colleges, acting as credential issuers, verifiers, and relying parties.
  4. Administrative bodies linked to institutions, such as those providing student services or managing third-party integrations.

Organisational interoperability in this context also requires:

  • Collaboration between Stakeholders: Ensuring that organisations such as governments, R&E institutions, and private companies can coordinate their efforts. For example, a government-issued digital ID EUDI credential should be usable by an R&E service (acting as a verifier).
  • Shared Processes: Establishing common processes for user binding, identity issuance, verification, and revocation across organisations. For instance, standardising how a university issues a -issued digital diploma that can should be verified verifiable by an employer’s identity system across borders.

In later phases, this work will expand to address global interoperability needs, enabling cross-border interactions with non-EU ecosystems

Legal Interoperability

Legal interoperability ensures that identity wallets and distributed identities comply with diverse legal frameworks across jurisdictions. Key considerations include:
