Weak ID Strong ID
The ultimate goal would be to move to the upper right part, using
"strong IDs" to authenticate users between organizations. There are
different ways of solving this problem, and NRNs in the Nordic
countries are investigating such solutions.
To inform each other, investigate the possibility for broader
cooperation and have some discussions regarding this issue, the GNOMIS
symposium will be organized.
