RE: Information on GeoXACML

Dear EM TC -

 

During the teleconference today I mentioned a standards activity in 
the OGC we call GeoXACML. A draft of this candidate standard can be found at http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/requests/41  
. From the document:

 

The OpenGIS Geospatial eXtensible Access Control Markup Language (GeoXACML) 
Draft Implementation Specification (OGC Document 07-026) defines a geo-specific 
extension to the eXtensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML) OASIS 
standard. "Access control systems" enable management of access to information 
only until it is obtained by the user and stored locally, as opposed to "rights 
management systems" that remain in force regardless of where the content of the 
original resource is located or reproduced. 

The GeoXACML committee is finalizing a draft Version 1 for OGC member 
approval. This version incorporates all comments from the mandatory 30 day 
public comment period.

Reason for sharing is that there may be some use for this new standard in the 
work of this TC as well as projects being pursued by TC Committee members.
