RE: Core Model Clarification - Asset and Party

Hi Renato,

I think that both definitions are clearer and more helpful.

An Asset may play a role in a Duty as well as within Permissions or Prohibitions. Currently, the full definition of Asset in the Core Model is

http://www.w3.org/community/odrl/work/2-0-core-model-constraint-draft-changes/#section-22

"The Asset entity is aimed at identifying the content that is the subject of an ODRL policy, e.g. a media file or ebook. Furthermore, it can be used to represent other Asset entities that are needed to undertake the Policy expression, such as with the Duty entity. The Asset entity is referred to by the Permission and/or Prohibition entities, and also by the Duty entity."

So, is your proposal to revise the first sentence ("The Asset ... e.g. a media file or ebook") and to keep the other parts of the paragraph ("Furthermore, ... and also by the Duty entity")? If so, then I think it covers the full scope.

Regards,

Stuart

Subject: Core Model Clarification - Asset and Party

I would like to propose that we more clearly articulate what we mean by Asset and Party.
Primarily so that audiences can understand the broad scope of ODRL policy expressions (which can then be narrowed, if required, in ODRL Profiles)

1 - Asset

Currently defined as:
"The Asset entity is aimed at identifying the content that is the subject of an ODRL policy, e.g. a media file or ebook"

Proposed new definition:
"The Asset entity is the subject of an ODRL policy expression that permissions and prohibitions are applied to. The Asset entity can be any form of identifiable resource, such as data/information, content/media, applications, or services."

2 - Party

Currently defined as:
"The Party entity is aimed at identifying a person, group of people, or organisation. The Party must identify a (legal) entity that can participate in policy transactions"

Proposed new definition:
"The Party entity is the object of an ODRL policy that performs (or not performs) actions or has a role in a Duty. The Party entity can be any form of identifiable entity, such as a person, group of people, organisation, or agent. An agent is a person or thing that takes an active role or produces a specified effect."


Comments and feedback welcome...


Cheers...
