Service Delivery Model
Delivery of Seamless Access service is done through the Coalition for Seamless Access, a collaboration between five organizations – GÉANT, Internet2, the National Information Standards Organization (NISO), ORCID, and the International Association of STM Publishers (STM). Seamless access has in 2019 started the beta service, that will operationally run on a production level quality infrastructure and will conduct a business pilot working with first adopters. Coalition partners will seek to provide sufficient resources to meet the deliverables defined for each responsibility area as follows:
...
- Commercial CDNs used to deliver web artifacts (JS, HTML, CSS) to end user browsers.
- Frontend software https://github.com/TheIdentitySelector/thiss-js, to be implemented by Service Providers.
- A backend consisting of an MDQ implementation with search extensions enabled (currently pyff.io).
Search function
Discovery service searches for substring in one of the metadata elements that are defined in entity_extended_display_i18n in https://github.com/IdentityPython/pyFF/blob/master/src/pyff/samlmd.py.
