W3C Report: Workshop on 
Access Control Application Scenarios

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.
