Belnet R&E Federation membership is one of 8 APIs that [University of Antwerp](https://apis.io/providers/university-of-antwerp/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Identity Federation, SAML, eduGAIN, and Belgium.

The Belgian national research and education identity federation, operated by Belnet, in which the university's identity provider is registered. The registration is asserted inside the university's own metadata: registrationAuthority http://federation.belnet.be/, registrationInstant 2012-03-27T12:00:00Z, registration policy http://federation.belnet.be/files/Belnet-metadata-registration-practice-statement.txt. Belnet interfederates into eduGAIN. Recorded as a membership, never as a contract of the university's — a federation is shared by definition, and the identity provider behind it is theirs.
