| [higgins-dev] Access control and link contracts |
|
From today’s call I had the action
item to send a link to an OASIS XDI TC document that covers the general concept
of link contracts. This is a slightly updated version of the document that
Markus and I presented at the last Higgins F2F: Http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/28080/xdi-rdf-model-v10.pdf The link contract example is on page 31. The
general architectural pattern is this: use a graph to describe the control relationship
between two other nodes in the graph. In the Higgins model, all three nodes are
Entities, and so a link contract is essentially an Entity that describes a
control relationship between two other Entities. This approach keeps the simple things (access
control) simple and makes the complex (more advanced permissions/policy refs) possible. =Drummond From: higgins-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx
