That comes down to the idea that an citizen/researcher has a level of access to any publicly funded (institutional) network.

So we always come back to the concept of individuals, inside institutions.gov, or .edu, domains having a Single Sign On, and some place to store their personal stuff. So that’s my.gov.au in Australia, and every other country. The reasons are pretty obvious. http://blogs.worldbank.org/ic4d/co-creation-of-government-services

We’ve still a way to go here. It’s one challenge which most National govs have to address. http://standards.data.gov.uk/challenge/standard-attributes-level-service Thankfully, the guys who run the National Research & Education Networks have already addressed this problem, and have already invented some services which open networkers share. Even if their users don’t know about them.

Seems every profession has been very good at opening their doors, individually. They just haven’t agreed on the attributes of their ‘master key’ yet.
