Subject: Open issues and action items for Hierarchical Resources


These are the open issues and associated action items resulting
from our discussion of Hierarchical Resources at today's TC
meeting.

1) Daniel: if this Profile is approved, certain portions of the
   core spec should be removed or modified.  Should these changes
   be done before we try to approve the Hierarchical Resources
   Profile?

  [ACTION ITEM] Anne will post mods to the core spec before we
  try to vote to approve the Hierarchical Resources Profile.

2) Tony: How to know which portions of a Profile an
   implementation supports, and how to specify that in policies
   or requests.  This is an issue for any XACML profile, not just
   hierarchical resources.

  [ACTION ITEM]: Hal and Tony will work together to prepare a
  specific proposal.

3) Michiharu: anyURI-match not yet fully specified.  He has
   posted comments on this (10 June "URI match function").  This
   function would be specified in the core specification, as it
   does not apply just to hierarchical resources.  Since the
   Hierarchical Resources Profile does not describe the semantics
   of these functions, and just points to the definition to be
   included in the core specification, the only changes needed to
   the Hierarchical Resources Profile would be editorial -
   include the final list of URI/URL matching function names.

  [ACTION ITEM] Michiharu will work with Tim on preparing a
  specific, updated, corrected proposal.

4) Michiharu: it would be good to have use cases or examples for
   using the functionality described in the profile.

  [ACTION ITEM] Michiharu will provide use cases for XML document
   resources.  Anne and Daniel will provide use cases for non-XMl
   document resources.

5) Michiharu: still studying issue of "document-id" Attribute
   versus a document identifier resource-id Attribute.

  [ACTION ITEM] Michiharu will post comments after completing the
   function.

6) Seth: Is the new xpath-expression DataType really needed?
   Should it be defined in the core specification?  Should
   current uses of "string to be interpreted as XPath expression"
   be changed to use xpath-expression data type?  Issue is that
   currently, specific AttributeIds are associated with the use
   of "string to be interpreted as as an XPath expression", and
   not a DataType.

  [ACTION ITEM] Anne & Seth will look at places where "string to
  be interpreted as XPath" is currently used and see if new ID or
  DataType needed.
