Access management for knowledge communities - a

policy orchestration formula

Ioan Rosca, Val Rosca

LORNET 2007, 6 november

Summary• 1. Introducing the issue of "meaningful access" : from resources

repository, personal rights, team coordination, technical interoperation- to accessing for acting for learning

• 2. Quest for refining a management formula: from instructive co-action (NUAC), resources encapsulation (ION) and aggregation (GADISA), system management (Explora) modelling (MOT+) and orchestration (VAL) to LORNET and TERMS

• 3. A formula for access policies management : the "operation“ (topology, aggregation, aspects, concretisation, management)

• 4. In guise of conclusion: new exploratory applications 4.1 Use cases evolving to support functions: refining global management of local access) 4.2 Instructive cooperation in software production: refining the orchestration for explanative co-action) 4.3 Managing extension cascades for TELOS-like systems: refining the administration of planned operation chains 4.4 Public management of civic research: refining emergent chains
