SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires sparq-policy, sparq-core, sparq-engine, oxrdf, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill evaluates W3C ODRL 2.2 usage-control policies over RDF, allowing for precise access control by analyzing policies and making ALLOW/DENY decisions based on the request context.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • ODRL Policy Parsing: Converts ODRL policy RDF into a typed Policy model with permissions and prohibitions.
  • Request Evaluation: Determines if a request matches policy rules and discharges duties, resulting in an ALLOW/DENY decision.
  • Use Case: Use this Skill to gate access to assets based on purpose, recipient, time window, count, or duty obligations, providing a secure layer above access control.

Quick Start

Use the usage-control-policy skill to evaluate a policy and determine if a request should be allowed or denied.

FAQPage Schema
How do I evaluate ODRL 2.2 usage-control policies over RDF data?

To evaluate ODRL 2.2 usage-control policies over RDF data, you can use this Skill to parse policies into a typed model and evaluate access requests against policy rules and duties to return ALLOW or DENY decisions.

How does fine-grained access control work with ODRL policies?

Fine-grained access control with ODRL policies works by evaluating access requests against parsed RDF policy rules and duty obligations, determining whether to ALLOW or DENY access based on the specific request context.

Can I gate asset access based on purpose, time window, or count using ODRL?

Yes, you can gate conditional asset access using ODRL by evaluating request contexts against policy rules and duties, allowing you to restrict access based on purpose, recipient, time window, count, or duty obligations.

What dependencies do I need to evaluate ODRL policies over RDF?

You need the sparq-policy, sparq-core, sparq-engine, and oxrdf dependencies installed to evaluate ODRL policies over RDF and execute access control evaluations within the sparq environment.

How do I parse ODRL policy RDF into a typed model for access decisions?

To parse ODRL policy RDF into a typed model, this Skill converts the RDF into structured permissions and prohibitions, evaluates incoming requests against these rules, and outputs a final ALLOW or DENY decision.

What's the best way to enforce conditional access control over RDF graphs?

The best way to enforce conditional access control over RDF graphs is to evaluate ODRL 2.2 policies by parsing them into a typed model and checking if requests discharge duties and match rules for an ALLOW or DENY decision.
