Hello, I'm Thomas Roessler (tlr on IRC). I work as W3C's Security Activity Lead, and am the other Team Contact of this Interest Group. In the context of this Interest Group, I'm interested in better understanding how the different assertion frameworks that various identity systems and the Semantic Web provide us with impact policy languages and their deployment. For example, how would an enterprise deal with the combination of CardSpace, OpenID, and an RDF based knowledge base that encompasses the company's org chart? And how can it ensure that access control policies that are based on these diverse data sources comply with legal requirements? ... with policies inherited from business partnes? ... with promises made to third parties, possibly again in machine-readable languages? In short, I think that the conversations about combining identity frameworks (and about making social network data portable) need to be connected to a conversation about combining policy languages, both in terms of standards work and research. My hope for PLING is that it might provide a forum for that. A happy new year to all, -- Thomas Roessler, W3C <tlr@w3.org>
