Online publishing services provider Semantico Ltd., UK, has completed deployment of the Shibboleth access management protocol across all its sites for global academic publisher Palgrave Macmillan. This is the latest in the series of Shibboleth deployments which Semantico is currently carrying out which includes OUP, Brill and Wiley-Blackwell. Taken together, these deployments signal a widespread acceptance of the Shibboleth technology by global publishers and their willingness to embrace federated access.
The Palgrave Macmillan upgrade means that end users can now use federated, single sign-on access and will have improved data security and convenience. For both institutional users and end-users, Shibboleth removes barriers and increases ease of access. At the same time it is enabling publishers to meet the strengthening of demand for Shibboleth in the US market.
Palgrave Macmillan is a long-standing client of Semantico. Products of the partnership to date include The Statesman's Yearbook Online and The Dictionary of Economics Online, both of which Semantico designed and built on behalf of the publisher and which it continues to support and maintain. Access management on these sites is handled by SAMS, Semantico's robust, next-generation access system, which already has a wide installed base among online publishers.
