RE: [sca-policy] Wording for Issue 24

["Natale, Bob" <RNATALE@mitre.org>]

Hi Ashok,

Concerning the wording of this paragraph from the top of p.2:

"An intent that can be completely satisfied by one of a choice of lower-level intents is referred to as a qualifiable intent. In order to express such intents, the  intent name may contain a qualifier, “.”. An intent that includes the name of a qualifiable intent in its name is referred to as a qualified intent, because it is “qualifying” how the qualifiable intent is satisfied. A qualified intent can only qualify one qualifiable intent, so the name of the qualified intent includes the name of the qualifiable intent as a prefix (separated by “.”), for example, authentication.message. See Usage of @requires attribute for specifying intents."

...It seems that the 3rd sentence might be better stated as:

"An intent that includes a qualifier in its name is referred to as a qualified intent, because it is “qualifying” how the qualifiable intent is satisfied."

(Underline added just for clarity here -- not intended for the actual text.)

 

Cheers,

BobN

Subject: [sca-policy] Wording for Issue 24

As requested, I have created wording changes in sections 3.1 and 3.2 of the
Policy Framework document to resolve issue 24..  Additional changes may be
needed in other sections to indicate how the intent defaults would be
used.  We
need to discuss these changes.
