WISE Baseline AUP - latest version
- full text (status: definitive text, pending changes to presentation)
Development process
Given the many possible AUPs in use which might form a basis for a common baseline, a study was conducted in the AARC project comparing 11 existing community and infrastructure AUP texts, looking for commonalities and discrepancies to inform the project. From an initial reading, it was apparent that a majority of the texts already shared a common heritage. Adopting the result of the AUP Study - and given that the so-called ‘JSPG' AUP clauses reflected the common heritage and could be used as a baseline template - an initial Baseline AUP was created and subsequently evolved. In March 2019 the WISE community adopted the AUP clauses and form (it is currently under final editing in the Steering Committee for formatting and presentation updates only).
Implementation guidance
Supplementing the basic instructions on usage of the AUP template included within the text itself, an Implementer’s Guide to the WISE Baseline Acceptable Use Policy [AARC-I044] was written with detailed advice for implementers wishing to adopt the Baseline AUP. It distinguishes two possible implementation models. The first, more straightforward, route to adoption, is a so-called “community-first” use-case. Here, a community (or other body) has its own ‘AAI entry point’ and can easily adapt the AUP template for its own purposes for presentation to its members. A second model, so-called “user-first” use-case, is used where the community, in which the user has yet to become registered, makes use of a (multi-tenant) membership management service. The reader is referred to the Implementers Guide for full details.
