With the establishment of theEntity Management Cooperative (EMCO) program,PCC Identity Management Advisory Committee (IMAC) is excited to launch the EMCO Early Adopter Adopters Phase of the program in Spring 2025.

EMCO is a vision for the PCC’s engagement with linked data. While the PCC Policy Committee has approved high-level principles to guide the work of EMCO, many practical questions remain unanswered. The Early Adopter Adopters Phase is designed to coordinate and organize registry communities of practice, in which practitioners contribute to the policies and procedures for the new entity management program. While the Early Adopter Adopters Phase welcomes enterprising participants of all experience levels, it’s important to know that, during this phase, IMAC can offer no formal training in linked data entity creation and maintenance. However, EMCO registry communities of practice will be independently identifying training, developing resources, and drafting best practices.
During the Early Adopter Adopters Phase, participants will contribute and manage linked data entities using practices developed by registry communities within the EMCO membership. Additionally, participants will have the opportunity to collaborate with other registry communities on coordinating EMCO work. Participants may contribute to this work to the extent they are comfortable.
