NameAffiliation within Home Organization
Description

One or more home organisations (such as universities, research institutions or private companies) this user is affiliated with. The syntax and semantics follow the eduPersonScopedAffiliation attribute.

The following values are recommended for use to the left of the “@” sign:

  • faculty

    The person is a researcher or teacher in their home organisation. 

    The exact interpretation is left to the home organisation, but the intention is that the primary focus of the person in their home organisation is in research and/or education. 


    Note
    . This attribute value is for users in the academic sector

  • industry-researcher

    The person is a researcher or teacher in their home organisation. 

    The exact interpretation is left to the home organisation, but the intention is that the primary focus of the person in their home organisation is in research and/or education. 


    Note
    . This attribute value is for users in the private sector.

  • member

    The member is intended to include faculty, industry-researcher, staff, student and other persons with a full set of basic privileges that go with membership in the home organisation, as defined in eduPerson. 

    In contrast to faculty, among other things, this covers positions with managerial and service focus, such as service management or IT support.

  • affiliate

    The affiliate value indicates that the holder has some definable affiliation to the home organisation NOT captured by any of faculty, industry-researcher, staff, student and/or member.

  • unknown

    If the origin does not provide any affiliation information, but the scope of the origin provider can be reliably determined, the affiliation is constructed by concatenating the string literal “unknown@” and the determined scope of the origin provider [AARC-G057]

If a person has faculty or industry-researcher affiliation with a certain organisation, they have also the member affiliation. However, that does not apply in a reverse order. Furthermore, those persons who do not qualify as member have an affiliation of affiliate.
