No, but they can be used with the Athens-Federation Gateway Service to make them work with the UK federation. As JISC will not be funding the gateway post July 2008 it cannot guarantee that the gateway will continue to be upgraded and developed to keep on working with the UK federation. Any institution subscribing to OpenAthens should ensure that they receive assurances of ongoing compliance with the UK federation in their agreement with Eduserv.
