GakuNin Academic Access Management Federation is one of 10 APIs that [Hokkaido University](https://apis.io/providers/hokkaido/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Identity Federation, SAML, Metadata, GakuNin, and Japan. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes authentication docs.

Membership of GakuNin (学術認証フェデレーション), the Japanese national academic identity federation operated by the National Institute of Informatics. The aggregate at metadata.gakunin.nii.ac.jp carries 650 entities, four of them Hokkaido University's — one identity provider and three service providers (RISS, WeBWorK, MDS Platform), all on hokudai.ac.jp hosts. Recorded as a relationship: the federation aggregate is NII's document, shared by definition, and the identity provider behind Hokkaido's entry is the university's own.
