- the general assumption confirmed by this study is that an AAI for SDI should be built on standard technologies, using mechanisms to translate between various authentication and authorisation technologies, and that federated access plays an important role;
- to fully benefit from federated access, more funding is needed to improve the reach of national identity federations in research an education;
- further research is needed to enhance authorisation and accounting mechanisms;
- a common policy and trust framework for identity management is needed, as well as clarity on data protection laws – these should be coordinated at European level;
- relevant organisations such as eIRG, REFEDS (Research and Education Federations), IGTF, the EC and consortia of libraries and data centres should all work towards these goals.
