Absolutely. This is an example of the class of usage we're most interested in.
A user will be able to specify which attributes to release and to whom (if
they have been designated to be the ARP owner). Of course, for certain
attributes the organisation(s) may be the ARP owner (as well as the data
owner in many cases) and have the ability to set a global policy. Although
our ARP mechaniusm already supports this kind of hierarchical control, our
initial focus with regard to UIs, is on user-centric policies such as the
example you give.
David.
