In order to simplify compliance with policies and procedures related to the management of person identity information under, Penn State Identity Services (IdS) and the Enterprise Project Management Office (EPMO) have coordinated an initiative to establish the Person Biographical (Bio) Record.
The Person Bio Record is a shared set of data elements related to person identity whose definitions are collectively understood and adhered to, created and maintained under shared policies and procedures, resulting in identity information that can be managed across Penn State information systems with a high degree of consistency, confidence in fidelity of values, and data integrity.
This page includes documentation of the policies and procedures related to the Penn State Person Bio Record.
