A model of account access control and lifecycle management

Abstract

This document introduces an RDF-based model describing the access control and lifecycle management policies of service providers. It is based upon the model structure proposed in my M.Sc. thesis [4]. This model is centered around a service provider s view of systems, and the agreements that they may reach with either individual users or virtual organizations, representing aggregations of users. This document is structured as follows. First of all, the modelling languages and tools used in the creation of the model are introduced. Secondly, a high-level overview of the model will be presented, and the composition of the following chapters will be discussed.
