[OpenID] OpenID and e-journals

[Dmitry Shechtman]

Bonjour Valerie,

 

If I understand correctly, OpenID could allow my e-journals readers
(assuming they have their OpenID created) to go from editors website to
editors website (OpenID compliants) to read their subscribed e-journals,
without having to log in every time ? 

 

Technically, they will still have to log in. However, they will use their
identities, rather than previously registered username/password pairs for
each site.

 

As a matter of fact, when I want to backcharge my readers (each department
pays what they use), I don't know who reads what. If every user had an
OpenID, that could help in solving this problem ? 

 

It definitely could, as long as those e-journals send you bills, detailing
their readers. It would be best to establish a corporate OpenID server,
which would automatically provide identities for all employees. As they
already have usernames/passwords, this would be a straightforward process.
