API entry from apis.yml

aid: ohio-state-university:incommon-idp-metadata
name: InCommon Federation IdP Metadata
x-operator: federation
x-operator-basis: Federation metadata is shared by definition — mdq.incommon.org serves every InCommon
  member. The entity it serves at urn:mace:incommon:osu.edu is Ohio State's own Identity Provider, so
  the membership is a fact about Ohio State even though the host is not theirs.
