Hello

SB> In FeSL, all XACML policies are stored as datastreams in Fedora 
SB> objects.  So you can either have separate Fedora objects for each 
SB> policy (with FESLPOLICY datastreams), or you can add a FESLPOLICY 
SB> datastream to existing objects.

Cool. I have something working now. It is an (E)xternal FESLPOLICY in its 
own Fedora object, and which specifies resources. Other objects which 
match these resources are then controlled by the policy.

One question is how I would go about triggering a reevaluation of an 
external policy. The script fedora-reload-policies.sh doesn't seem to do 
this. Even viewing the updated content of the external datastream in 
Fedora doesn't make a difference.

SB> FeSL uses the XACML hierarchical resources profile, so policies can be 
SB> applied to all members of a collection for example.

I didn't realise that this was hierarchical - I thought that 
/demo:demoObjectCollection/.* was just describing pages below 
/demo:demoObjectCollection - a URL hierarchy, rather than members of the 
collection. That makes it a whole lot more interesting. Thanks.

If I can use existing RDF statements about membership of collections, then 
I probably don't need to use another RDF statement just for the policy.

Thanks again.

Swithun.
