W3C has announced publication of a report and full minutes of the
'Workshop on Access Control Application Scenarios', held in Luxembourg
in November 2009. Participants from 17 organizations examined the
current limitations of access control, privacy enhancement, distributed
handling of access control, and other challenging use cases. Extensible
Access Control Markup Language (XACML) was a focus of the Workshop,
though not the exclusive topic of conversation. The report summarizes
the major "takeaways" from the Workshop, related to XACML semantics,
"sticky" policies, and credentials-based access control. The OASIS XACML
TC is expected to take up these topics. W3C's Policy Languages Interest
Group (PLING) is expected to discuss data handling policies and the
matching and triggering of events in the privacy context.
