Notes

The above is a second (v2) attempt at modeling this use-case.

  • A new diagramming style is used--it is more compact at representing the literal attributes of an Entity within a single rectangular box.
  • The entire use case now fits on one diagram (just barely!)
  • The new group higgins:subject sub-attribute is now being used
  • A new selfInstanceOf higgins:subject sub-attribute is now being used
  • See HOWL Update 1.1.104 for related changes to support this use case

The problem found last week remains. These two dimensions of "resource scoping" are orthogonal:

  1. what Attribute type(s) the Policy is talking about
  2. the set of Entities that the Policy is talking about

The problem is that ex:p[1-3]'s :read and :modify links all "point" to an Attribute type, but these links don't indicate what set of Entities we're talking about since one Attribute type may be used by N Entity classes.
