# InCommon Federation Metadata Toolchain

This repository contains some of the tooling used by the
[InCommon Federation](https://www.incommon.org) to:

* Import metadata from the [eduGAIN](https://edugain.org) interfederation
  service, including filtering and transforming that metadata to meet
  InCommon's needs.

* Generate per-entity metadata for publication through the Metadata Query
  protocol.

This tooling draws heavily on that used by the
[UK federation](https://www.ukfederation.org.uk) as published
[on GitHub](https://github.com/ukf/ukf-meta). The `upstream` branch of this
repository mirrors the `master` branch from that repository, and useful
upstream changes are often merged in here.

The remainder of this file is the original `README.md` from the upstream
repository.
