I'm working through these and I noticed something. IContextModel has a getAttributes method. Do you (or anyone) know what that's for? A context doesn't have attributes.
If it's a convenient way of asking for a list of all attributes valid for all subject types allowed by this context, then it seems we should also add getMetadataSet to IContextModel as well.

Subject: [higgins-dev] IdAS notes
Jim,
I have some notes about IdAS:
1. I suppose IMetadataModel interface should extend IModel interface (to inherit IDisplayData getDisplayData() method);
2. We need to add two methods getMetadataSet() and getMetadata(URI) to IDigitalSubjectModel, IAttributeModel and IAttributeValueModel;
3. IAttributeValueModel interface declares some methods (isValidValue(Object valueForm), isValid(String lexicalForm), toValueForm(String lexicalForm) and toLexicalForm(Object value)) which are not reqiured by IAttributeComplexValueModel. I proprose to move these methods from IAttributeValueModel to IAttributeSimpleValueModel;
4. There are some classes which contain wrong HOWL URIs (at least wrong base URI - AuthNNamePasswordMaterials, AuthNSelfIssuedMaterials etc.). Pershaps we need some class which will contain HOWL URIs constants.
Thanks,
Sergey Lyakhov
