Addendum C: Authentication Workshop Detailed Agenda
Here is the agenda for the CSG authentication/authorization/encryption
workshop to be held at the San Diego Hilton on Wednesday, January 7,
1998. This workshop is open to all CSG member institutions, who may
send as many individuals as they like. It is also open to members of
the National Digital Library Federation, which is arranging the
following day's Digital Library workshop. Contact Larisa McEachran
(larjoymc@umich.edu) for further logistical details.
8:00am- 8:30am: Continental breakfast
8:30am- 9:15am: Overview of the problem [Greg Jackson, Univ of Chicago]
9:15am-10:00am: Pieces of the solution [Bob Morgan, Stanford]
10:00am-10:30am: Break
10:30am-11:15am: MIT's approach [Jeff Schiller, MIT]
11:15am-12 noon: Minnesota's approach [Frank Grewe, Univ of Minnesota]
12 noon- 1:00pm: Lunch
1:00pm- 1:45pm: CNI and cross-campus issues [Clifford Lynch, CNI]
1:45pm- 2:30pm: [presentation of an "off the shelf" solution, TBA]
2:30pm- 3:00pm: Break
3:00pm- 4:00pm: Vendor panel [PGP, Entrust, others TBA]: Introductory
Remarks
4:00pm- 5:30pm: Discussion with vendors and audience [facilitated by
Ken Klingenstein, Univ of Colorado, Boulder]
The Common Solutions Group will sponsor a dinner for workshop
attendees. Details will follow.
This is a complex area, where words like "authentication" and
"authorization" carry a great deal of hidden background. We're
therefore starting with two context-setting overview talks from Greg
Jackson and Bob Morgan. In particular, Bob Morgan's "Pieces of the
solution" presentation notes that we have public-key encryption,
Kerberos, S-MIME, PGP, and a host of other technologies and
methodologies that need to be recognized in their stand-alone
incarnations before we can understand their use in combination. After
this overview and a break, we hear about two very different approaches
to putting the pieces together, one from MIT and one from Minnesota.
That concludes the morning.
Up to this point, nearly all of the material has been oriented towards
(a) hand-assembled solutions for (b) a single campus. After lunch, we
have Cliff Lynch talking about not-(b), that is, about cross-campus
issues, which are extremely important to the Coalition for Networked
Information, especially in the context of access to electronic
publications. And then we have a not-(a) presentation (an
"off-the-shelf" solution) from some campus (still to be determined)
that has found such a solution that meets its needs. Finally,
following the afternoon break, we have a panel with 3 or 4 vendor
representatives. Each will do a 15-minute introduction, and then we'll
have 60-90 minutes to ask the vendors questions and have a general
discussion and wrap-up.
This should be an extremely informative workshop for everyone working
on -- or worried about -- campus-wide and cross-campus authentication
and authorization issues. We hope you'll attend, along with your
interested staff.

Addendum D: Digital Library Workshop Detailed Agenda
Here is the agenda for the CSG Workshop on Digital Libraries to be held
at the San Diego Hilton on Thursday, January 8, 1998, beginning at 8 a.m.
The Technical Architecture Committee of the Digital Library Federation
will lead the workshop.
1. Introduction and overview - Donald Waters, Director, Digital Library
Federation (10 minutes)
2. Summary of digital library developments at selected locations (20
minutes)
-- National Digital Library Project - Caroline Arms, Library of Congress
-- The Making of America Project, Part II - Bernie Hurley, University of
California at Berkeley
3. Digital library components and architectural issues - Dale Flecker,
Harvard University (90 minutes)
Dale Flecker, who chairs the Architecture Committee, will lead an
interactive discussion with CSG. He will call on other members of the
Committee to define selected technical components of digital libraries,
the interrelationships among them, implementation options, open
questions, and implications, and invite detailed comment from CSG
members. The components and issues to be highlighted in the discussion
include types of digital content, technologies for discovery and
intellectual access, conversion, archiving, licensing, security,
naming, printing, and billing, and the challenges of providing
sufficient network capacity, desktop facilities, and support.
4. Conclusion and next steps (30 minutes)
The Digital Library Federation (DLF) was established in 1995 to establish
the necessary conditions for creating, maintaining, expanding, and
preserving a distributed collection of digital materials accessible to
scholars, students, and a wider public. The charter group that founded
DLF consists of 15 research libraries and archives (Columbia, Cornell,
Emory, Harvard, Library of Congress, National Archives, New York Public
Library, Penn State, Princeton, Stanford, University of California at
Berkeley, University of Michigan, University of Southern California,
University of Tennessee, and Yale). There are three new DLF
participants: Indiana, University of Minnesota, and University of
Pennsylvania. The Technical Architecture Committee of DLF is chaired by
Dale Flecker (Harvard) and includes Caroline Arms (Library of Congress),
Bernie Hurley (Berkeley), David Millman (Columbia), John Price-Wilken
(Michigan), and Steve Worona (Cornell).
