Below is a summary of our recent dialogs on simplifying the PMRM structure. Abbreviated/informal definitions for the Services are given. These definitions would be (re)formalized. Core Policy Services: Agreement: determine and/or arbitrate PI permissions Usage: manage permissions, policies, use of PI Security: provide data protection Privacy Assurance Services Validation: check PI for accuracy Certification: check and confirm credentials Enforcement: audit for and react to exception conditions Presentation and Life Cycle Services Interaction: inter/intra communications; actor persona Access: allow subject to view and suggest corrections to PI held by other Actors Each Service is composed of a set of Functions drawn from Function categories: - Configure - Input - Process - Output Configure could also be called: Setup or Initialize Below this Function level, Mechanisms are employed to achieve those functions. The definitions of Actor, Touch Point, and System are still wobbly. Michael
