Re: Q&C #'s 11-20 regarding geopriv-reqs-02

Jorge,

Thanks for your reply.

The requirements for a "definition" (specification) of a <mumble> are
(in geopriv) the (abuse of language) "policies" of datum originators.
[How one gets from there to actual syntax is TBD.]

Compare:

The requirements for a "definition" (specification) of a <mumble> are
(in provreg) the (abuse of language) "policies" of onward transporters
of data. [How one gets from there to actual syntax is TBD.]

So, just to be anal.

The geopriv model contains sources, and may contain intermediate nodes,
and eventual sinks.

The provreg model contains nodes that are intermediate and eventual sinks,
it does not contain sources.

In my own uniquely clumsy way, I'm attempting to anticipate some claim(s)
that (abuse of language) "policy", hence mechanism, for each model, are
indistinguishable.

I am cheered, and I hope you are as well,
Eric
