Give access to multiple views of my data in one Solid pod

Pitch

Your Solid pod contains your personal data. Some views of that data you want to share with specific agents, but not all of your data, e.g. "I want to share my age with an application, but not my birthdate".

Desired solution

• Encode the rules for arriving at a specific view in a declarative way.
• Publish separately accessible resources in my Solid pod that provide these different views (//pod.example.com/profile and //pod.example.com/minimal-profile
  • that way, I can share a minimal profile (only my age) with application A, but my full profile (also my birthdate) with application B.
  • Extension: the same resource (//pod.example.com/profile) returns different views, depending on the access control description

Acceptance criteria

• I want to see how different applications receive different views from the same profile
  • an update to the profile (e.g. hypothetically changing my birthdate) is automatically reflected in all different views

Pointers

• 4, but without leaking info to the client application

I'm also interested in how this would impact querying. E.g., if a query engine discovers these two files, how should it determine to only use one of them for determining query results?

(Happy to create a separate challenge for this if that's out of scope for this one)

I think that belongs in a separate challenge, otherwise we'll never make the ''roughly in 3 months buildable'' cut :)

Ok, a follow-up challenge then :-)
