Subject: RE: [xacml] urn:oasis:names:tc:xacml:1.0:function:present
Colleagues - If we are to retain the function "present", how about this as a definition? urn:oasis:names:tc:xacml:1.0:function:present This function SHALL take one argument of data-type "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#anyURI" and SHALL return a "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#boolean". The return value SHALL be "True" if there exists anywhere in the request context an attribute with an attributeId attribute whose value is the same as that of the function argument, according to the urn:oasis:names:tc:xacml:1.0:function:anyURI-equal function. Otherwise, it SHALL return "False". What do you think? All the best.
