Groups - XACML v3.0 Related and Nested Entities Profile Version 1.0 uploaded

[Steven Legg<steven.legg@viewds.com>]

        Submitter's message
        This is the initial draft for the Related and Nested Entities Profile - my response to the "Attributes of Relations" email thread. I changed from "Embedded" to "Nested" in the title because it better suggests the idea that entities can be embedded in other entities to any depth. A nested entity is what I have previously called a compound attribute. As well as the ForAny and ForAll expressions that I have discussed on the mailing list I have defined a Select _expression_ as a convenience to policy writers who like to think in SQL terms. The examples go beyond simply addressing the "Attributes of Relations" concerns.

Description
It is not unusual for access control policy to be dependent on attributes
that are not naturally properties of the access subject or resource, but
rather are properties of entities that are related to the access subject or
resource. This profile defines the means to reference such attributes from
within XACML policies for processing by a policy decision point.
