Re: Only CRUD in ldp-access-control?

The proposal is actually agnostic on the levels of access we provide.
Certainly "append" is very useful, e.g. in medical records.
I don't know about visibility because you have to know the URI before
you try and access something.
All the best, Ashok

In general, I think we assume everyone has VISIBILITY access to every resource, but at the same time, folks build systems with bearer-token URLs, like YouTube's "unlisted" videos, where you can see the video if you know its URL and the system is very careful never to offer that URL to someone.    So that would be a case of READ-WORLD, VISIBILITY-OWNER.    It's hard to implement limited visibility in Linked Data, but it has considerable potential value if it can be done.
