Higher Education and Research
Network market (edugain research-and-education federation) over our university roster. The Kin Score Market layer reads each provider in its market: who it integrates with, how deep those integrations go, and where the market publishes its own structure. Methodology.
Where this market publishes its structure
- Our university roster (pipeline-university, 254/254 profiled; universities-roster.json) machine-readable
- eduGAIN technical API: identity and service providers (technical.edugain.org/api.php) machine-readable
- 1EdTech certified product directory (via sweep-edtech.py; report only here) machine-readable
- Ellucian Marketplace / Ethos partners not machine-readable: marketplace URL 404; no public listing
- Workday Student partner list not machine-readable: no Student-specific listing; Workday's store is read by sweep-hr-stores.py
- Canvas institutional coverage not machine-readable: no public register of which institutions run Canvas
- National federation SAML metadata (InCommon, UK federation...) not machine-readable: signed XML; eduGAIN JSON used instead for the interfederated subset
Own = declares at least one integration itself; covered = visible only because an aggregator, standards body, regulator or partner contract names it; distribution-only = listed only on cloud marketplaces it sells through, a channel reported beside, never counted as its own declared integrations; undeclared = nothing we can read, so no number; declares_compatibility = providers with a `compatible` shape vote, report only (kin, 2026-10-13): never counted as own, never in depth or position.
Taxonomy how this market maps onto apis.io
Derived 2026-10-15 from the 35 providers in this market we could resolve in the catalog. The percentage is the share of those providers carrying each one; it describes the market, not the tag or industry. Tag groups have no page of their own yet, so they are listed unlinked.

Leaders by position (provisional)
Provisional: grouped by position, depth compared within a position only. Distribution (cloud marketplaces) and iPaaS bridges are counted beside position, never inside it. Unknown-builder listings are left out of position shares and counted here.
