[cap-talk] "ambient authority" on wiki.erights.org

[Matej Kosik]

Hi,

I am not sure if it is entirelly possible but it would be great if we
had some encyclopedic resource defining the terms we use.

I have recently started the thread about ambient authority. Ideally, it
would result in an improved Wikipedia article (which already exist) or
wiki.erights.org article.

My idea is that :
- there should be a definition of this term
- and some examples

What about this:
http://wiki.erights.org/wiki/Ambient_authority
(that page can be deleted by wiki administrator if it is inappropriate)

Is that definition correct? I find it clearer than (and hopefully
equivalent to) definitinion given by Mark:

"If a requesting entity requests an action that it is permitted to
perform, then the action is allowed."

Although, it would be necessary to define the other related terms
(subject, object, operation on object).
