Subject: Support for the xpathExpression Data-type in the JSON Profile
Here, for the consideration of the TC, are my suggested changes to the JSON profile to include support for the xpathExpression data-type. Section 3.4.1 - Add a row to the table for the xpathExpression data-type. XACML data-type-identifier -> urn:oasis:names:tc:xacml:3.0:data-type:xpathExpression JSON shorthand code -> xpathExpression Javascript data-type -> None – inference must fail Rename section 3.4.2 to "The xpathExpression Datatype" and replace the text with the following: Values of the xpathExpression data-type are represented as JSON objects. Each such object contains the following properties: +---------------+----------------------+--------------------+---------------+ | Attribute | Type | Mandatory/Optional | Default value | +---------------+----------------------+--------------------+---------------+ | XPathCategory | URI | Mandatory | None | +---------------+----------------------+--------------------+---------------+ | Namespaces | Array of | Optional | None | | | NamespaceDeclaration | | | +---------------+----------------------+--------------------+---------------+ | XPath | String | Mandatory | None | +---------------+----------------------+--------------------+---------------+ The XPath property contains the XPath expression [XPATH] from the XACML value. The Namespaces property contains namespace declarations for interpreting qualified names [NAMESPACES] in the XPath expression. A NamespaceDeclaration object contains the following properties: +-----------+--------+--------------------+---------------+ | Attribute | Type | Mandatory/Optional | Default value | +-----------+--------+--------------------+---------------+ | Prefix | String | Optional | None | +-----------+--------+--------------------+---------------+ | Namespace | URI | Mandatory | None | +-----------+--------+--------------------+---------------+ Each NamespaceDeclaration object describes a single XML namespace declaration [NAMESPACES]. The Prefix property contains the namespace prefix and the Namespace property contains the namespace name. In the case of a namespace declaration for the default namespace the Prefix property SHALL be absent. The Namespaces array MUST contain a NamespaceDeclaration object for each of the namespace prefixes used by the XPath expression. The Namespaces array MAY contain additional NamespaceDeclaration objects for namespace prefixes that are not used by the XPath expression. There SHALL NOT be two or more NamespaceDeclaration objects for the same namespace prefix. 3.4.2.1 Example {Non-normative} This example shows the XML representation of an XACML attribute with a value of the xpathExpression data-type and its corresponding representation in JSON. As XML: <Attribute xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:xacml:3.0:core:schema:wd-17" AttributeId="urn:oasis:names:tc:xacml:3.0:content-selector"> <AttributeValue xmlns:md="urn:example:med:schemas:record" XPathCategory="urn:oasis:names:tc:xacml:3.0:attribute-category:resource" DataType=" urn:oasis:names:tc:xacml:3.0:data-type:xpathExpression" >md:record/md:patient/md:patientDoB</AttributeValue> </Attribute> As JSON: "Attribute": { "Id" : "urn:oasis:names:tc:xacml:3.0:content-selector", "DataType" : "xpathExpression", "Value" : { "XPathCategory" : "urn:oasis:names:tc:xacml:3.0:attribute-category:resource", "Namespaces" : [{ "Namespace" : "urn:oasis:names:tc:xacml:3.0:core:schema:wd-17" }, { "Prefix" : "md", "Namespace" : "urn:example:med:schemas:record" }], "XPath" : "md:record/md:patient/md:patientDoB" } } Section 4.2.5 - Add "object" and "Array of object" to the Type for the Value property. In the normative references add these: [NAMESPACES] Bray, Tim, et.al. eds, Namespaces in XML 1.0 (Third Edition), W3C Recommendation 8 December 2009, available at http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/REC-xml-names-20091208/ [XPATH] James Clark and Steve DeRose, XML Path Language (XPath), Version 1.0, W3C Recommendation 16 November 1999.
