Please cast your OASIS organizational ballot for 3 XACML Profiles

[monica.palmirani <monica.palmirani@unibo.it>]

Dear LegalDocML members,

we would like to recommend to vote for XACML specifications currently up 
for coming an OASIS standard (see the email below).

Deadline: Monday January 19th, 2015!

The scope of LegalDocML is focused on the legal sources (documents) 
modelling. XACML successfully addresses the modelling of access control 
rules (e.g. Intellectual Property Control).

Best,
Monica Palmirani and Fabio Vitali
(co-chairs of LegalDocML OASIS TC)

I am writing to ask you to cast your organization's vote for the three 
XACML specifications currently up for a vote as OASIS Standards. For 
your convenience, I have included some information on the Profiles below.

Hal Lockhart
Co-chair OASIS XACML TC

The links for the three ballots are:

MAP (Metadata Access Point) Authorization Profile

https://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/voting/ballot.php?id=2726


Intellectual Property Control (IPC) Profile

https://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/voting/ballot.php?id=2727


Export Compliance-US (EC-US) Profile

https://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/voting/ballot.php?id=2728


For those who may have forgotten, the OASIS XACML Standard defines 
syntax and semantics for a policy language for making access control 
decisions. These Profiles primarily define attribute names and values of 
use in making access control decisions pertaining to the subject of the 
profile. The Profiles have been developed by representatives of Vendor 
and User organizations with an interest in the subject area. The use of 
these profiles has been demonstrated at public events. The defined 
attribute values may also be useful metadata for access control using 
schemes other than XACML and for non-access control purposes.

The MAP Authorization Profile is a joint effort between OASIS and the 
Trusted Network Group (TNG). The TNG has defined a server called a 
Metadata Access Point, which is used to obtain Network Metadata. This 
profile defines attributes and their values useful for controlling 
access to MAP servers.

The Intellectual Property Control Profile defines attributes and values 
useful for controlling access to documents containing one or more kinds 
of intellectual property. It also defines policy Obligations, such as 
requiring encryption or watermarking. These attributes would typically 
be attached to a document as metadata and also be available for uses 
other than access control.

The Export Control - US Profile defines attributes and values suitable 
for access control relating to requirements from Export Control laws and 
regulations. This profile is defined to be suitable for the US 
environment. It is expected Profiles for other jurisdictions will 
developed later, using this profile as a starting point.
