Look also at the work on a Policy Aware Web, for example:
http://www.w3.org/2004/09/Policy-Aware-Web-acl.pdf
I think this approach is too heavyweight but we can discuss.
All the best, Ashok

Hello again,
Thank you all for expressing your interest. I would like to keep this thread
open for a few more days, to get an estimate of how many people are interested
in participating. Until then, please familiarize yourselves with the WAC
ontology (in case you haven't already), and maybe compile a list of topics you
feel we should bring up.
Best,
Andrei

Hi Andrei,
I am interested in participating. I've been looking to add WAC to VIVO
to work with the WebID4VIVO that we have created to allow inter-VIVO
operations. -- Erich

Dear all,
For those of you who know me, please skip this paragraph. For the others, I would first
like to introduce myself. My name is Andrei Sambra and for the past three years I have been
involved in different W3C groups, such as WebID, LDP and RWW (co-chair). As an advocate of
Semantic Web technologies, especially those taking user privacy into consideration, I am
currently working on two projects, MyProfile [1] (WebID provider / social network) and
RWW.IO <http://RWW.IO> [2], the later including support for WebID, LDP and WAC [3].
RWW.IO <http://RWW.IO> is a Read/Write Web-based personal data store.
Over the past few years, we have noticed that Linked Data is no longer a
technology limited to the public space, finding its way into consumer
applications. As a consequence, it becomes increasingly important to be able to
protect access to private/sensitive resources. To this regard, the Web Access
Control (WAC) ontology [3] has been put together by Tim Berners-Lee, offering
the basic means to set up ACLs. Due to its nature (i.e. an ontology) however,
it does not provide the formalism necessary to implement it in order to achieve
interoperability, nor does it provide an organized space where it can be
discussed and improved.
The reason behind writing the email is that I would like to know how many
people are interested in participating to the standardization process of a Web
Access Control spec.
The Read Write Web community group has so far been the host of inquiries
regarding the WAC ontology. However, being a community group, it does not have access
to W3C's teleconference system, nor to the issue tracking system. Depending on your
interest in a WAC spec, and the preliminary discussions we might have, we may very
well have to create a dedicated working group. For now however, I suggest we use the
public RWW list (public-...@w3.org <mailto:public-...@w3.org>) in order to
coordinate the efforts on this subject.
Please let me know how you stand on this subject and perhaps suggest a way
to count who is interested in participating (doodle, something else maybe?).
Best wishes,
Andrei
