  • Publication number: 20090171989
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for handling identity data from heterogeneous sources utilizes an Identity Data Model Broker (IDMB). The IDMB maps fields between heterogeneous data sources, served by disparate Identity Attribute Service (IdAS) context providers, to establish a normalized data format. Within an IdAS, an abstract data model, which is brokered the IDMB, is created to present a normalized view of the data from the IDMB. When a request for data is received at the IdAS, the requested data is retrieved from appropriate data sources, through respective IdAS context providers, normalized to the abstract data model, and provided to the requester by the IdAS, such that the heterogeneous data sources are shielded from the requester.
