Algorithm for finding authorizations in an ACL document? #19

Open zimeon opened 7 years ago

zimeon commented 7 years ago

The specification gives an algorithm for finding the appropriate ACL via inheritance but as far as I can see there is no explicit algorithm for finding the authorizations within the ACL document. In the examples it seems that each authorization is 1) given a hash-URI (fragment) in the ACL and 2) is identified with a type triple <#auth-uri> a acl:Authorization. Are either or both of these the requirements for identification of the authorizations within and ACL document?

(Context of this question is use of WAC on the Fedora Repository API specification)

@zimeon Thanks for bringing this up. We'll try to clarify the algorithm for finding authorizations.
