While some e-infrastructures included accounting in their design and operations from the start, others are now
being asked or required to add accounting support to their existing systems. Typically accounting forms part of a
relationship between the infrastructure and some other organisation – perhaps a funder, host or customer –
rather than the infrastructure's relationship with its individual users. These organisations may be interested in
usage statistics across particular categories: for example by subject, by time, by project or by origin. It might be

The various organisations participating in an e-infrastructure are likely to have their own policies on its use; harmonising those policies offers an opportunity to implement them more accurately, efficiently and effectively. This paper discusses how policies are likely to interact and how those developing policies can benefit from the coordination provided by using a common infrastructure.
Article
In this article, issues related to correlating account IDs derived from attributes across collaborating systems are discussed. A technical solution is described that service providers (SPs) belonging to the same project can adopt for safely correlating attribute-derived data such as account IDs.

I was invited to present the work of our working group at a joint meeting of the UK HPC-SIG and the US Coalition for Academic Scientific Computing in Oxford last week. To describe what we've been doing I used the pictures we've developed of collaborating eInfrastructures from different perspectives: the interactions in security, access management and policies. Final versions of the diagrams can be found in our published reports.
