-        While the <a href="https://www.w3.org/2012/ldp/wiki/Main_Page">Linked Data Platform WG.</a> did not 
-		address Access Control directly, a number of usescases and requirements were identified as part of its
-		deliberations.  These usecases and requirements are captured in this document to serve as a basis for

-    <section>
-      <h2>Access Control</h2>
-      <p>
-        Access Control is a mechanism through which an agent ( an HTTP server in this case ) permits other agents -- 
-		individuals, organizations, and/or groups made up of these -- to perform certain operations on resources as 
-		specified by policies for the resources and for the agents. Within this document, the resources are LDP resources, but the access 
-		control may operate at different granularities: RDF or other documents, named graphs or individual triples.
-		The operations are typically create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) but other operations can easily be accomodated by
-		this design.
-		</p>
-		<p>
-        When an agent requests a collection of resources it gets to see only those resources or parts of resources 
-		it is authorized for.</p>
-		<p>
-		Depending on the granularity, the access control mechanisms may affect performance, but should not affect 
-		semantics.</p>
-		<p>
-		For access control to come into play, the server must restrict some operations on some resources. 
-		</p>
-		</section>
-		<section>
-	  <h2>Terminology</h2>
-	  <ul>
-	  <li>ACG: An Access Control Graph describes the permitted modes of access for particular agents to apecific resources.</li>
-	  <li>ACG Resource: A resource whose representation contains one or more ACGs which the server relies 
-	  upon to make access control decisions.</li>
-	  </ul>
-    </section>
-	<section>
-	<h2>Usecases</h2>
-	<section>
-	<h3>Access Control on manipulation of resources via HTTP</h3>
-	Adam's user agent attempts:
-	<ol>	
-    <li>To CREATE, READ, UPDATE (or PATCH), or DELETE a resource identified by a URL.  The server may immediately 
-	allow or deny the request, or it may request that he authenticate to confirm his privileges, 
-	as specified by the ACG for the Resource.</li>
-    <li>If he is denied access, an explanation of why all or part of his request was denied should be provided 
-	so that it becomes possible to detect errors, and so that he may modify the request -- 
-	potentially to include making a request for such privileges.
-	</li>
-    <li>Adam would ideally like to know whether he will be able to perform an Action on a Resource 
-	before attempting such - i.e., whether he will have to authenticate before he is able to Read or Write the Resource.
-	</li>
-	<ol>
-	</section>
-	<section>
-	<h3>Editability of Access Control Rules using HTTP</h3>
-	<ol>
-	<li>
-    Bart's user agent logs on to a server and requests
-	the capability to read a group of related resources such as all the papers presented at a conference.</li>
-    </li>
-	<li>Employees with job titles VP or SVP can sign (update) supplier contracts.</li>
-    <li>Charlie, the Webmaster, would like to grant read access to the papers presented at a conference to all the 
-	people who attended the conference.</li>
-	<ol>
-	</section>
-	<section>
-	<h3>User Interface Scenarios</h3>
-	Eddie's HTTP based user agent would like to provide a user interface to allow, where possible, Eddie to 
-	<ol>
-	<li>Know if he can edit or delete a resource.</li>
-    <li>Know what he would have to do to have access to a resource ( be someone's friend, be part of a club, have 
-	paid a fee )</li>
-	<li>Allow Eddie to edit the access control rules for a resource such as:
-	<ol>
-        <li>Allow friends of his to access a document.</li>
-        <li>Allow friends of his to POST to a container, but only read a subset of the contents of the container, 
-		those posted by that agent for example.</li>
-        <li>Allow all the members of the LDP WG to create and edit resources including LDP Containers under a 
-		specific URL pattern.</li>
-		<li>Allow all friends of friends as expressed by the foaf:knows relations in one's foaf profile to POST comments 
-		to a container related to some content, and edit their own comments.</li>
-		<li>Allow the members of the LDP WG, the RWW CG, the WebID CG, and the member of the European Ontologist Network, 
-		to work together on set of ontologies. It should be possible to drag and drop URLs for these groups, 
-		found on the web, onto the User Interface as a way of creating the union of the members of the group.</li> 
-	</ol>
-	</ol>
-	</section>
-	<section>
-	<h2>Requirements</h2>
-	<ul>
-	<li>An Agent must be able to authenticate itself to a server with an identifier or as the owner of a token. 
-	( All use cases )</li>
-    <li>Ability to specify a collection of agents, identifying agents with URIs, URI patterns, or by description. 
-	(Usecase 3.2.2, 3.2.3)</li>
-    <li>Ability to specify a collection of resources, identified by URIs or URI patterns or by description,
-	with a specified access policy. (Usecase 3.2.1, 3.2.3)</li>
-    <li>Ability to connect a collection of agents with a collection of resources with given access privileges. 
-	( All use cases )</li>
-	</ul>
-	
-	<p>The above requirements require the ability, by an authorized agent, to CREATE, EDIT, UPDATE relevant ACGs. 
-
-	<ul>
-	<li>Ability to specify access privileges at a fine-grained level. (Usecase 3.1.2, 3.2.1.2)</li>
-    <li>The server should be able to describe access control policies for a resource. (Usecase 3.1.4, 3.3.1, 3.3.2)</li>
-    <li>The server should be able explain the reasons for access being disallowed in a machine readable format.
-	(Usecase 3.1.3)
-	</li>
-    <li>A user-agent should be able to find the ACG for a given resource.(Usecase 3.1.1)</li>
-	<li>The ability by one user agent to delegate the authority to create and edit ACGs to another agent.(Usecase 3.3.3)</li>
-	</ul>
-	</section>
-	<section>
-	<h2>Outline of a Charter for a Access Control WG</h2>
-	<p>An Access Control Graph (ACG) consists of two kinds of collections: a collection of agents and a collection of 
-	resources. It then connects a collection of agents with a collection of resources with the connection identifying 
-	the privileges the agents have on the resources: CREATE, READ, UPDATE, DELETE.</p>
-	<p>ACGs are resources in their own right and can have access control priviledges specified for them just like
-	any other resource.  This permits the creation and modification of ACGs to be delegated.
-	</p>
-	<p>
-	The members of the collection of agents contain tokens that the agents obtain from some authentication service. 
-	The members of the collection of resources are URIs or URI templates.</p>
-	<p>The WG will need to decide whether it also wants to define fine-grained access control at an attribute level.</p>
-<section>
-<h2>Deliverables</h2>
-<ul>
-<li>Define the collections that are part of the ACG and define how a collection of agents is connected to a 
-connection of resources.</li>
-<li>Define how ACGs can be created and edited and how these rights can be delegated.</li>
-<li>Describe a proof-of-concept implementation of how a request for access to a resource by an agent can be processed 
-efficiently with the ACG structure defined above.</li>

-      <p>
-        Access Control is a mechanism through which an agent ( an HTTP 
-server in this case ) permits other agents -- 
-		individuals, organizations, and/or groups made up of these -- to 
-perform certain operations on resources as 
-		specified by policies for the resources and for the agents. Within 
-this document, the resources are LDP resources, but the access 
-		control may operate at different granularities: RDF or other 
-documents, named graphs or individual triples.
-		The operations are typically create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) 
-but other operations can easily be accomodated by
-		this design.
-		</p>
-		<p>
-        When an agent requests a collection of resources it gets to see only those resources or parts of resources 
-		it is authorized for.</p>
-		<p>
-		Depending on the granularity, the access control mechanisms may affect performance, but should not affect 
-		semantics.</p>
-		<p>
-		For access control to come into play, the server must restrict some operations on some resources.

-	<p>An Access Control Graph (ACG) consists of two kinds of collections: a collection of agents and a collection of 
-	resources. It then connects a collection of agents with a collection of resources with the connection identifying 
-	the privileges the agents have on the resources: CREATE, READ, UPDATE, DELETE.</p>
-	<p>ACGs are resources in their own right and can have access control priviledges specified for them just like
-	any other resource.  This permits the creation and modification of ACGs to be delegated.
-	</p>
-	<p>
-	The members of the collection of agents contain tokens that the agents obtain from some authentication service. 
-	The members of the collection of resources are URIs or URI templates.</p>

+      <p>
+        Access Control is a mechanism through which an agent ( an HTTP server in this case ) permits other agents -- 
+		individuals, organizations, and/or groups made up of these -- to perform certain operations on resources as 
+		specified by policies for the resources and for the agents. Within this document, the resources are LDP resources, but the access 
+		control may operate at different granularities: RDF or other documents, named graphs or individual triples.
+		The operations are typically create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) but other operations can easily be accomodated by
+		this design.
+		</p>
+		<p>
+        When an agent requests a collection of resources it gets to see only those resources or parts of resources 
+		it is authorized for.</p>
+		<p>
+		Depending on the granularity, the access control mechanisms may affect performance, but should not affect 
+		semantics.</p>
+		<p>
+		For access control to come into play, the server must restrict some operations on some resources.

+	<p>An Access Control Graph (ACG) consists of two kinds of collections: a collection of agents and a collection of 
+	resources. It then connects a collection of agents with a collection of resources with the connection identifying 
+	the privileges the agents have on the resources: CREATE, READ, UPDATE, DELETE.</p>
+	<p>ACGs are resources in their own right and can have access control priviledges specified for them just like
+	any other resource.  This permits the creation and modification of ACGs to be delegated.
+	</p>
+	<p>
+	The members of the collection of agents contain tokens that the agents obtain from some authentication service. 
+	The members of the collection of resources are URIs or URI templates.</p>
+	<p>The WG will need to decide whether it also wants to define fine-grained access control at an attribute level.</p>
+<section id="deliverables">
+<h4 id="h4_deliverables" role="heading" aria-level="3"><span class="secno">3.5.1 </span>Deliverables</h4>
+<ul>
+<li>Define the collections that are part of the ACG and define how a collection of agents is connected to a 
+connection of resources.</li>
+<li>Define how ACGs can be created and edited and how these rights can be delegated.</li>
+<li>Describe a proof-of-concept implementation of how a request for access to a resource by an agent can be processed 
+efficiently with the ACG structure defined above.</li>

+
+			<p>While writing the Linked Data Platform Specification, the
+				authors and contributors felt compelled to share common conventions
+				and valuable lessons-learned. Yet, at the same time, they did not
+				wish to impose or imply unnecessary restrictions, or to make the
+				formal specification unnecessarily verbose. This document, along
+				with the LDP Primer [<cite><a href="#bib-LDP-PRIMER" class="bibref">LDP-PRIMER</a></cite>], was therefore developed to
+				provide additional context. Drawing upon the professional
+				experiences of its authors and contributors, research into the rich
+				history of related technologies, and continuous feedback from the
+				community at large, it aims to help system implementers avoid common
+				pitfalls, improve quality, and achieve greater interoperability with
+				other Linked Data systems.</p>
+
+		</section>
+
+		<section id="terminology">
+
+			<h3 id="h3_terminology" role="heading" aria-level="2"><span class="secno">1.2 </span>Terminology</h3>
+
+			<p>For the purposes of this document, it is useful to
+				make a minor, yet important distinction between the term 'best
+				practice' and the term 'guideline'. We define and differentiate 
+				the terms as follows:</p>
+
+			<dl>
+				<dt>best practice</dt>
+				<dd>An implementation practice (method or technique) that has
+					consistently shown results superior to those achieved with other
+					means and that is used as a benchmark. Best practices within this
+					document apply specifically to the ways that LDP servers and
+					clients are implemented as well as how certain resources are
+					prepared and used with them. In this document, the best practices
+					might be used as a kind of check-list against which an implementer
+					can directly evaluate a system's design and code. Lack of adherence
+					to any given best practice, however, does not necessarily imply a
+					lack of quality; they are recommendations that are said to be
+					'best' in most cases and in most contexts, but not all. A best
+					practice is always subject to improvement as we learn and evolve
+					the Web together.</dd>
+				<dt>guideline</dt>
+				<dd>A tip, a trick, a note, a suggestion, or answer to a
+					frequently asked question. Guidelines within this document provide
+					useful information that can advance an implementer's knowledge and
+					understanding, but that may not be directly applicable to an
+					implementation or recognized by consensus as a 'best practice'.</dd>
+			</dl>
+
+			<p>Please see the Terminology section in Linked Data Platform 1.0
+				[<cite><a href="#bib-LDP" class="bibref">LDP</a></cite>] as well as the Linked Data Glossary [<cite><a href="#bib-LD-GLOSSARY" class="bibref">LD-GLOSSARY</a></cite>] for
+				definitions to a variety of terms used in this document and related
+				to the Linked Data sphere of knowledge.</p>

+
+			<p>URIs are used to uniquely identify resources and URLs are used
+				to locate resources on the Web. That is to say that a URL is
+				expected to resolve to an actual resource, which can be retrieved
+				from the host. A URI, on the other hand, may also be a URL, but it
+				does not have to be; it may refer to something that has no
+				retrievable representation.</p>
+
+			<p>One of the fundamental ideas behind Linked Data is that the
+				things referred to by HTTP URIs can actually be looked up
+				("dereferenced"). This important principle was originally
+				outlined by Tim Berners-Lee as rule #2 of "the four rules"
+				for linking data [<cite><a href="#bib-LD-DI" class="bibref">LD-DI</a></cite>]. It is therefore ideal that predicate
+				URIs identify resources with representations that are retrievable. LDP
+				servers should at least provide [<cite><a href="#bib-RDF-SCHEMA" class="bibref">RDF-SCHEMA</a></cite>] representations of
+				these predicates where possible.</p>
+
+			<p>Of course, it is also a common practice to reuse properties
+				from open vocabularies that are publicly available. In this case,
+				implementers have no control over the result when attempting to
+				dereference the URI. For this reason, publishers who wish to make
+				their vocabularies useful for linking data should strive to provide
+				a retrievable representation of the properties their vocabularies
+				define. Consequently, implementers are also expected to use this
+				practice as a benchmark for which to judge the efficacy of a
+				vocabulary's use for linking data.</p>

+

+				It is often very useful to know the type (class) of an LDPR, though

+				LDP offers. Still, to make data more useful in the broadest context,

+				predicate defined by [<cite><a href="#bib-RDF-SCHEMA" class="bibref">RDF-SCHEMA</a></cite>].
+			</p>
+
+			<p>This provides a way for clients to easily determine the type(s)
+				of a resource without having to perform additional processing or
+				make additional HTTP requests. For example, clients that cannot
+				infer the type because they do not support inferencing can benefit
+				from this explicit declaration.</p>

+
+			<p>Relative URIs are useful to the Linked Data Platform in much
+				the same ways that relative URLs [<cite><a href="#bib-RFC3986" class="bibref">RFC3986</a></cite>] have been useful to
+				traditional web systems. Since the things referred to by Linked Data
+				URIs should provide a retrievable representation [<cite><a href="#bib-LD-DI" class="bibref">LD-DI</a></cite>], Linked
+				Data URIs are usually also URLs; they locate rather than just
+				identify. As such, the utilitarian value of relative URLs still
+				applies; especially since the LDP Container model promotes
+				hierarchical representations.</p>
+
+			<p>Implementers should therefore align the function of relative
+				URIs in LDP with those of traditional relative URLs where possible
+				and appropriate. Aside from giving developers the comfort and
+				convenience of familiarity, they provide many of the same
+				advantages.</p>
+
+			<dl>
+				<dt>Relative URIs are shorter than absolute URIs.</dt>
+				<dd>
+					<p>In many cases, this can aid development by making code and

+				<dt>Relative URIs can make resources more portable.</dt>
+				<dd>When information which is already known from the context of

+
+			<p>Hierarchical URIs are good for containers because they enable
+				the use of relative URIs. They also promote easy interaction with
+				resources that are modeled to represent parent-child relationships
+				where the child logically belongs to the parent.</p>
+
+			<p>
+				One example of such a model can be found in the case of the
+				<code>oslc_cm:attachment</code>
+				container from the vocabularies defined by the <a href="http://open-services.net/">Open Service for Lifecycle
+					Management (OSLC)</a> community. The OSLC defines specifications and
+				vocabularies that are well-aligned to LDP. A resource in an OSLC
+				compliant change management system such as an issue or bug tracker
+				may have attachments represented by the
+				<code>oslc_cm:attachment</code>
+				container. The URI for such a container might be represented as
+				follows:
+			</p>
+
+			<p>
+				<code>http://example.org/bugs/2314/attachments/</code>
+			</p>
+
+			<p>From this URI, the URI of the parent resource which holds the
+				attachments is easily discerned. The base container for other
+				sibling resources can be discerned by moving up the hierarchy, which
+				is implied by the URI. Meta-data or binary content might be fetched
+				further down the hierarchy by using a URI such as the following:</p>
+
+			<p>
+				<code>http://example.org/bugs/2314/attachments/1</code>
+			</p>
+
+			<p>In addition to making the use of relative URIs possible,
+				hierarchical URIs make interacting with resources easier for users because
+				they represent the actual structure of the underlying graph.
+				Software agents (code acting on behalf of users [<cite><a href="#bib-WEBARCH" class="bibref">WEBARCH</a></cite>]) must be careful
+				before exploiting the structure of URIs, considering historical problems
+				when doing so ([<cite><a href="#bib-WEBARCH" class="bibref">WEBARCH</a></cite>], [<cite><a href="#bib-metaDataInURI" class="bibref">metaDataInURI</a></cite>]).

+
+			<p>When representing container membership with hierarchical URLs,
+				including the trailing slash in a container's URI makes it 
+				easier to use relative URIs.
+				Take the following container URI for example:</p>
+
+			<p>
+				<code>http://example.org/container1</code>
+			</p>
+
+			<p>It is more advantageous to use the following instead:</p>
+
+			<p>
+				<code>http://example.org/container1/</code>
+			</p>
+
+			<p>To illustrate the advantage, let's start with the following
+				container using absolute URIs:</p>
+
+			<div class="example"><div class="example-title"><span>Example 4</span>: A simple container</div><pre class="example">@prefix dcterms: &lt;http://purl.org/dc/terms/&gt;.
+@prefix rdfs: &lt;http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#&gt;.
+@prefix ldp: &lt;http://www.w3.org/ns/ldp#&gt;.
+
+&lt;http://example.org/container1&gt;
+   a a ldp:Container, ldp:BasicContainer;
+   dcterms:title "A very simple container";
+   ldp:contains
+      &lt;http://example.org/container1/member1&gt;,
+      &lt;http://example.org/container1/member2&gt;,
+      &lt;http://example.org/container1/member3&gt;.</pre></div>
+
+			<p>Suppose now that we wish to reflect the same resource using
+				relative URIs. If the URI of the container includes the trailing
+				slash, we end up with a very elegant representation, as shown below.</p>
+
+			<div class="example"><div class="example-title"><span>Example 5</span>: Container URI is http://example.org/container1/</div><pre class="example">@prefix dcterms: &lt;http://purl.org/dc/terms/&gt;.
+@prefix rdfs: &lt;http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#&gt;.
+@prefix ldp: &lt;http://www.w3.org/ns/ldp#&gt;.
+
+&lt;&gt; a a ldp:Container, ldp:BasicContainer;
+ dcterms:title "A very simple container";
+ ldp:contains &lt;member1&gt;, &lt;member2&gt;, &lt;member3&gt; .</pre></div>
+
+			<p>But suppose that we omit the trailing slash, issued an HTTP
+				GET, and the container returned the representation shown above. This
+				could produce a graph that is equivalent to the following:</p>
+
+			<div class="example"><div class="example-title"><span>Example 6</span>: Container URI is http://example.org/container1</div><pre class="example">@prefix dcterms: &lt;http://purl.org/dc/terms/&gt;.
+@prefix rdfs: &lt;http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#&gt;.
+@prefix ldp: &lt;http://www.w3.org/ns/ldp#&gt;.
+
+&lt;http://example.org/container1&gt;
+   a a ldp:Container, ldp:BasicContainer;
+   dcterms:title "A very simple container";
+   ldp:contains
+      &lt;http://example.org/member1&gt;,
+      &lt;http://example.org/member2&gt;,
+      &lt;http://example.org/member3&gt;.</pre></div>
+
+			<p>That is not what was intended; the member URLs lack the 
+				<code>container</code> path segment.
+				The returned document would
+				have to be more verbose in order to be correct:</p>
+
+			<div class="example"><div class="example-title"><span>Example 7</span>: Container URI is http://example.org/container1</div><pre class="example">@prefix dcterms: &lt;http://purl.org/dc/terms/&gt;.
+@prefix rdfs: &lt;http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#&gt;.

+ dcterms:title "A very simple container";
+ ldp:contains &lt;container1/member1&gt;, &lt;container1/member2&gt;, &lt;container1/member3&gt; .</pre></div>
+
+			<p>So, clearly, the better solution is to ensure that container
+				URIs end with a trailing slash.</p>

+
+			<h3 id="h3_use-fragments-as-relative-identifiers" role="heading" aria-level="2"><span class="secno">2.7 </span>Use fragments as relative identifiers</h3>
+
+			<p>
+				Resource URIs are permitted to end with a fragment; the fragment
+				component is delimited from the rest of the URI because it is
+				introduced by a hash mark (<b><code>#</code></b>).
+				For this reason, URIs with non-empty fragments are often called hash URIs;
+				a hash URI identifies a subordinate or related resource [<cite><a href="#bib-RFC3986" class="bibref">RFC3986</a></cite>].
+			</p>
+
+			<p>
+				Take the URI,
+				<code>http://www.example.org/products#item10245</code>
+				, for example. The non-fragment portion of the URI is the part preceding the hash mark,
+				<code>http://www.example.org/products</code>
+				, and the fragment identifier is the part that follows,
+				<code>item10245</code>
+				.
+			</p>
+
+			<p>When expressing Linked Data Platform Resources in RDF,
+				fragments are useful because they can be expressed as relative URIs
+				on the document describing them. This is particularly handy for
+				describing multiple LDPRs whose representations are contained within
+				a single document.</p>
+
+			<p>
+				First, it provides the convenience and efficiency of brevity.
+				Suppose, for example, the resources foo, bar, and baz are
+				contained in the same document. Since serving all of the
+				descriptions in a single document is acceptable, we can mint
+				relative URIs within the document using the fragment identifier (
+				<code>&lt;#foo&gt;</code>
+				,
+				<code>&lt;#bar&gt;</code>
+				and
+				<code>&lt;#baz&gt;</code>
+				).  [<cite><a href="#bib-LDP" class="bibref">LDP</a></cite>] ensures that the default base URI is the document
+				URI (
+				<code>http://www.example.org/products</code>
+				), so the absolute URI for each is 
+				the base URI, plus the hash mark,
+				plus the fragment identifier.
+			</p>
+
+
+			<p>Second, it can help avoid certain complexities inherent with
+				other approaches. Achieving the same result using three independent
+				dereferenceable URIs could be more involved because multiple
+				documents would have to be published, perhaps also including the
+				setup of 303 redirects.</p>

+				This section summarizes some well-known RDF vocabularies that should
+				be used in Linked Data Platform Resources wherever a resource needs
+				to use a predicate whose meaning matches one of these. For example,
+				if a resource has a description, and the application semantics of
+				that description is compatible with
+				<code>dcterms:description</code>
+				, then
+				<code>dcterms:description</code>
+				should be used. If needed, additional application-specific
+				predicates may be used. A specification for a domain may require one
+				or more of these properties for a particular resource type. The
+				Range column in the tables below identifies the defined
+				<code>rdfs:range</code>
+				for the properties.

+
+			<p>Quality factors allow the user or user agent to indicate the
+				relative degree of preference for a media-range, using the qvalue
+				scale from 0 to 1. The default value is q=1. Take the following for
+				example:</p>
+
+			<p>
+				<code>Accept: text/turtle; q=0.5, application/json</code>
+			</p>
+
+			<p>This should be interpreted as "I prefer application/json, but
+				send me text/turtle if it is the best available after a 50%
+				mark-down in quality."</p>
+
+			<p>Improper handling of qvalues is a common problem in
+				implementations of content negotiation.
+			</p><p>Refer to Section 14, Header Field Definitions, in the
+				[<cite><a href="#bib-HTTP11" class="bibref">HTTP11</a></cite>] specification to understand the proper use and evaluation
+				of qvalues for both client and server implementations.</p>

+
+			<p>Clients can access an LDPR using multiple URLs. An LDP server
+				should respond to each of those requests using a single consistent
+				URL, a primary URL, for the LDPR. This primary URL may be found
+				in the response's Location and/or Content-Location headers, and
+				potentially also in the representation of the LDPR. A common case is
+				URLs that vary by protocol, one HTTP and one HTTPS, but are
+				otherwise identical. In most cases those two URLs refer to the same
+				resource, and the server should respond to requests on either URL
+				with a single (primary) URL.</p>
+
+			<p>Clients should use the primary URL as an LDPR's identity;
+				for example, when determining if two URLs refer to the same resource
+				clients should compare the primary URLs, not the URLs used to
+				access the resources.  Note that this usage <em>does</em> imply that the
+				client has sufficient reason to trust the headers and/or content
+				by which the primary URL is communicated to the client, which is 
+				beyond what HTTP alone can guarantee [<cite><a href="#bib-RFC7231" class="bibref">RFC7231</a></cite>].

+			<p>LDPRs can use one RDF triple to represent a link
+				(relationship) to another resource. Having the source resource’s URI
+				as the subject and the target resource’s URI as the object of the
+				triple is enough. Contrary to a misconception that readers with
+				certain backgrounds may assume, the creation of an
+				"intermediate link" resource is not required to express
+				the relationship.</p>

+			<p>LDP servers should enable simple creation and modification of
+				LDPRs.</p>
+
+			<p>It may be common for LDP servers to put restrictions on
+				representations – for example, the range of rdf:type predicates,
+				datatypes of the objects of predicates, and the number of
+				occurrences of predicates in an LDPR, but servers should minimize
+				such restrictions.</p>
+
+			<p>For some server applications, excessive constraints on
+				modification of resources may be required. However, enforcement of
+				more complex constraints will greatly restrict the set of clients
+				that can modify resources. For interoperability with a wider range
+				of clients, implementers are therefore encouraged to minimize
+				server-specific constraints.</p>

-
-			<p>While writing the Linked Data Platform Specification, the
-				authors and contributors felt compelled to share common conventions
-				and valuable lessons-learned. Yet, at the same time, they did not
-				wish to impose or imply unnecessary restrictions, or to make the
-				formal specification unnecessarily verbose. This document, along
-				with the LDP Primer [<cite><a href="#bib-LDP-PRIMER" class="bibref">LDP-PRIMER</a></cite>], was therefore developed to
-				provide additional context. Drawing upon the professional
-				experiences of its authors and contributors, research into the rich
-				history of related technologies, and continuous feedback from the
-				community at large, it aims to help system implementers avoid common
-				pitfalls, improve quality, and achieve greater interoperability with
-				other Linked Data systems.</p>

-
-			<p>For the purposes of this document, it is useful to
-				make a minor, yet important distinction between the term 'best
-				practice' and the term 'guideline'. We define and differentiate 
-				the terms as follows:</p>
-
-			<dl>
-				<dt>best practice</dt>
-				<dd>An implementation practice (method or technique) that has
-					consistently shown results superior to those achieved with other
-					means and that is used as a benchmark. Best practices within this
-					document apply specifically to the ways that LDP servers and
-					clients are implemented as well as how certain resources are
-					prepared and used with them. In this document, the best practices
-					might be used as a kind of check-list against which an implementer
-					can directly evaluate a system's design and code. Lack of adherence
-					to any given best practice, however, does not necessarily imply a
-					lack of quality; they are recommendations that are said to be
-					'best' in most cases and in most contexts, but not all. A best
-					practice is always subject to improvement as we learn and evolve
-					the Web together.</dd>
-				<dt>guideline</dt>
-				<dd>A tip, a trick, a note, a suggestion, or answer to a
-					frequently asked question. Guidelines within this document provide
-					useful information that can advance an implementer's knowledge and
-					understanding, but that may not be directly applicable to an
-					implementation or recognized by consensus as a 'best practice'.</dd>

-
-			<ul>
-				<li><strong>RDF Vocabulary Description Language 1.0: RDF Schema</strong> 
-					[<cite><a href="#bib-RDF-SCHEMA" class="bibref">RDF-SCHEMA</a></cite>] - The Resource Description Framework
-					(RDF) is a general-purpose language for representing information in
-					the Web and it is the defacto language for expressing Linked Data.
-					This specification describes how to use RDF to describe RDF
-					vocabularies.</li>
-				<li><strong>RDF Primer 1.1</strong> [<cite><a href="#bib-RDF-PRIMER11" class="bibref">RDF-PRIMER11</a></cite>] - This Primer is designed to
-					provide the reader with the basic knowledge required to effectively
-					use RDF. It introduces the basic concepts of RDF and describes its
-					XML syntax. It describes how to define RDF vocabularies using the
-					RDF Vocabulary Description Language, and gives an overview of some
-					deployed RDF applications. It also describes the content and
-					purpose of other RDF specification documents.</li>
-				<li><strong>Turtle - Terse RDF Triple Language</strong>
-					[<cite><a href="#bib-TURTLE" class="bibref">TURTLE</a></cite>] - defines a textual syntax for RDF called Turtle that
-					allows RDF graphs to be completely written in a compact and natural
-					text form, with abbreviations for common usage patterns and
-					datatypes. RDF examples used in this document are expressed in
-					Turtle.</li>
-				<li><strong>Linked Data Glossary</strong> [<cite><a href="#bib-LD-GLOSSARY" class="bibref">LD-GLOSSARY</a></cite>] - a
-					useful glossary containing terms defined and used to describe
-					Linked Data, and its associated vocabularies and best practices for
-					publishing structured data on the Web.</li>
-				<li><strong>Linked Data Platform 1.0</strong> [<cite><a href="#bib-LDP" class="bibref">LDP</a></cite>] - the
-					formal specification for the LDP read-write Linked Data
-					architecture, based on HTTP access to web resources that describe
-					their state using the RDF data model.
-				</li><li><strong>Linked Data Platform 1.0 Test Cases</strong>
-					[<cite><a href="#bib-LDP-TESTS" class="bibref">LDP-TESTS</a></cite>] - a standard set of tests provided by the <abbr title="World Wide Web Consortium">W3C</abbr>, which

-					- an introduction to LDP, which describes the basic concepts of LDP
-					such as Linked Data Platform Resources (LDPRs), Linked Data
-					Platform Containers (LDPCs), and their affordances. The Primer
-					provides a running example illustrating how an LDP client can
-					interact with an LDP server in the context of a read-write Linked
-					Data application (i.e. how to use HTTP for accessing, updating,
-					creating and deleting resources from servers that expose their

-
-			<h3 id="h3_predicate-uris-should-be-http-urls" role="heading" aria-level="2"><span class="secno">2.1 </span>Predicate URIs should be HTTP URLs</h3>
-
-			<p>URIs are used to uniquely identify resources and URLs are used
-				to locate resources on the Web. That is to say that a URL is
-				expected to resolve to an actual resource, which can be retrieved
-				from the host. A URI, on the other hand, may also be a URL, but it
-				does not have to be; it may refer to something that has no
-				retrievable representation.</p>
-
-			<p>One of the fundamental ideas behind Linked Data is that the
-				things referred to by HTTP URIs can actually be looked up
-				("dereferenced"). This important principle was originally
-				outlined by Tim Berners-Lee as rule #2 of "the four rules"
-				for linking data [<cite><a href="#bib-LD-DI" class="bibref">LD-DI</a></cite>]. It is therefore ideal that predicate
-				URIs identify resources with representations that are retrievable. LDP
-				servers should at least provide [<cite><a href="#bib-RDF-SCHEMA" class="bibref">RDF-SCHEMA</a></cite>] representations of
-				these predicates where possible.</p>
-
-			<p>Of course, it is also a common practice to reuse properties
-				from open vocabularies that are publicly available. In this case,
-				implementers have no control over the result when attempting to
-				dereference the URI. For this reason, publishers who wish to make
-				their vocabularies useful for linking data should strive to provide
-				a retrievable representation of the properties their vocabularies
-				define. Consequently, implementers are also expected to use this
-				practice as a benchmark for which to judge the efficacy of a
-				vocabulary's use for linking data.</p>

-				concept of type in LDPRs</h3>
-
-			<p>
-				It is often very useful to know the type (class) of an LDPR, though
-				it is not essential to work with the interaction capabilities that
-				LDP offers. Still, to make data more useful in the broadest context,
-				type should be explicitly defined using the <code>rdf:type</code>
-				predicate defined by [<cite><a href="#bib-RDF-SCHEMA" class="bibref">RDF-SCHEMA</a></cite>].

-
-			<p>Relative URIs are useful to the Linked Data Platform in much
-				the same ways that relative URLs [<cite><a href="#bib-RFC3986" class="bibref">RFC3986</a></cite>] have been useful to
-				traditional web systems. Since the things referred to by Linked Data
-				URIs should provide a retrievable representation [<cite><a href="#bib-LD-DI" class="bibref">LD-DI</a></cite>], Linked
-				Data URIs are usually also URLs; they locate rather than just
-				identify. As such, the utilitarian value of relative URLs still
-				applies; especially since the LDP Container model promotes
-				hierarchical representations.</p>
-
-			<p>Implementers should therefore align the function of relative
-				URIs in LDP with those of traditional relative URLs where possible
-				and appropriate. Aside from giving developers the comfort and
-				convenience of familiarity, they provide many of the same
-				advantages.</p>
-
-			<dl>
-				<dt>Relative URIs are shorter than absolute URIs.</dt>
-				<dd>
-					<p>In many cases, this can aid development by making code and
-						RDF easier for humans to read. It can also reduce the size of
-						payloads, which in turn, can reduce network traffic and stress on
-						servers, while improving response times for end-users.</p>

-				<dt>Relative URIs can make resources more portable.</dt>

-
-			<p>Hierarchical URIs are good for containers because they enable
-				the use of relative URIs. They also promote easy interaction with
-				resources that are modeled to represent parent-child relationships
-				where the child logically belongs to the parent.</p>
-
-			<p>
-				One example of such a model can be found in the case of the
-				<code>oslc_cm:attachment</code>
-				container from the vocabularies defined by the <a href="http://open-services.net/">Open Service for Lifecycle
-					Management (OSLC)</a> community. The OSLC defines specifications and
-				vocabularies that are well-aligned to LDP. A resource in an OSLC
-				compliant change management system such as an issue or bug tracker
-				may have attachments represented by the
-				<code>oslc_cm:attachment</code>
-				container. The URI for such a container might be represented as
-				follows:
-			</p>
-
-			<p>
-				<code>http://example.org/bugs/2314/attachments/</code>
-			</p>
-
-			<p>From this URI, the URI of the parent resource which holds the
-				attachments is easily discerned. The base container for other
-				sibling resources can be discerned by moving up the hierarchy, which
-				is implied by the URI. Meta-data or binary content might be fetched
-				further down the hierarchy by using a URI such as the following:</p>
-
-			<p>
-				<code>http://example.org/bugs/2314/attachments/1</code>
-			</p>
-
-			<p>In addition to making the use of relative URIs possible,
-				hierarchical URIs make interacting with resources easier for users because
-				they represent the actual structure of the underlying graph.
-				Software agents (code acting on behalf of users [<cite><a href="#bib-WEBARCH" class="bibref">WEBARCH</a></cite>]) must be careful
-				before exploiting the structure of URIs, considering historical problems
-				when doing so ([<cite><a href="#bib-WEBARCH" class="bibref">WEBARCH</a></cite>], [<cite><a href="#bib-metaDataInURI" class="bibref">metaDataInURI</a></cite>]).

-
-			<h3 id="h3_include-a-trailing-slash-in-container-uris" role="heading" aria-level="2"><span class="secno">2.6 </span>Include a trailing slash in container URIs</h3>
-
-			<p>When representing container membership with hierarchical URLs,
-				including the trailing slash in a container's URI makes it 
-				easier to use relative URIs.
-				Take the following container URI for example:</p>
-
-			<p>
-				<code>http://example.org/container1</code>
-			</p>
-
-			<p>It is more advantageous to use the following instead:</p>
-
-			<p>
-				<code>http://example.org/container1/</code>
-			</p>
-
-			<p>To illustrate the advantage, let's start with the following
-				container using absolute URIs:</p>
-
-			<div class="example"><div class="example-title"><span>Example 4</span>: A simple container</div><pre class="example">@prefix dcterms: &lt;http://purl.org/dc/terms/&gt;.
-@prefix rdfs: &lt;http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#&gt;.
-@prefix ldp: &lt;http://www.w3.org/ns/ldp#&gt;.
-
-&lt;http://example.org/container1&gt;
-   a a ldp:Container, ldp:BasicContainer;
-   dcterms:title "A very simple container";
-   ldp:contains
-      &lt;http://example.org/container1/member1&gt;,
-      &lt;http://example.org/container1/member2&gt;,
-      &lt;http://example.org/container1/member3&gt;.</pre></div>
-
-			<p>Suppose now that we wish to reflect the same resource using
-				relative URIs. If the URI of the container includes the trailing
-				slash, we end up with a very elegant representation, as shown below.</p>
-
-			<div class="example"><div class="example-title"><span>Example 5</span>: Container URI is http://example.org/container1/</div><pre class="example">@prefix dcterms: &lt;http://purl.org/dc/terms/&gt;.
-@prefix rdfs: &lt;http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#&gt;.
-@prefix ldp: &lt;http://www.w3.org/ns/ldp#&gt;.
-
-&lt;&gt; a a ldp:Container, ldp:BasicContainer;
- dcterms:title "A very simple container";
- ldp:contains &lt;member1&gt;, &lt;member2&gt;, &lt;member3&gt; .</pre></div>
-
-			<p>But suppose that we omit the trailing slash, issued an HTTP
-				GET, and the container returned the representation shown above. This
-				could produce a graph that is equivalent to the following:</p>
-
-			<div class="example"><div class="example-title"><span>Example 6</span>: Container URI is http://example.org/container1</div><pre class="example">@prefix dcterms: &lt;http://purl.org/dc/terms/&gt;.
-@prefix rdfs: &lt;http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#&gt;.
-@prefix ldp: &lt;http://www.w3.org/ns/ldp#&gt;.
-
-&lt;http://example.org/container1&gt;
-   a a ldp:Container, ldp:BasicContainer;
-   dcterms:title "A very simple container";
-   ldp:contains
-      &lt;http://example.org/member1&gt;,
-      &lt;http://example.org/member2&gt;,
-      &lt;http://example.org/member3&gt;.</pre></div>
-
-			<p>That is not what was intended; the member URLs lack the 
-				<code>container</code> path segment.
-				The returned document would
-				have to be more verbose in order to be correct:</p>
-
-			<div class="example"><div class="example-title"><span>Example 7</span>: Container URI is http://example.org/container1</div><pre class="example">@prefix dcterms: &lt;http://purl.org/dc/terms/&gt;.
-@prefix rdfs: &lt;http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#&gt;.
-@prefix ldp: &lt;http://www.w3.org/ns/ldp#&gt;.
-
-&lt;&gt; a a ldp:Container, ldp:BasicContainer;
- dcterms:title "A very simple container";
- ldp:contains &lt;container1/member1&gt;, &lt;container1/member2&gt;, &lt;container1/member3&gt; .</pre></div>
-
-			<p>So, clearly, the better solution is to ensure that container
-				URIs end with a trailing slash.</p>

-
-			<h3 id="h3_use-fragments-as-relative-identifiers" role="heading" aria-level="2"><span class="secno">2.7 </span>Use fragments as relative identifiers</h3>
-
-			<p>
-				Resource URIs are permitted to end with a fragment; the fragment
-				component is delimited from the rest of the URI because it is
-				introduced by a hash mark (<b><code>#</code></b>).
-				For this reason, URIs with non-empty fragments are often called hash URIs;
-				a hash URI identifies a subordinate or related resource [<cite><a href="#bib-RFC3986" class="bibref">RFC3986</a></cite>].
-			</p>
-
-			<p>
-				Take the URI,
-				<code>http://www.example.org/products#item10245</code>
-				, for example. The non-fragment portion of the URI is the part preceding the hash mark,
-				<code>http://www.example.org/products</code>
-				, and the fragment identifier is the part that follows,
-				<code>item10245</code>
-				.
-			</p>
-
-			<p>When expressing Linked Data Platform Resources in RDF,
-				fragments are useful because they can be expressed as relative URIs
-				on the document describing them. This is particularly handy for
-				describing multiple LDPRs whose representations are contained within
-				a single document.</p>
-
-			<p>
-				First, it provides the convenience and efficiency of brevity.
-				Suppose, for example, the resources foo, bar, and baz are
-				contained in the same document. Since serving all of the
-				descriptions in a single document is acceptable, we can mint
-				relative URIs within the document using the fragment identifier (
-				<code>&lt;#foo&gt;</code>
-				,
-				<code>&lt;#bar&gt;</code>
-				and
-				<code>&lt;#baz&gt;</code>
-				).  [<cite><a href="#bib-LDP" class="bibref">LDP</a></cite>] ensures that the default base URI is the document
-				URI (
-				<code>http://www.example.org/products</code>
-				), so the absolute URI for each is 
-				the base URI, plus the hash mark,
-				plus the fragment identifier.
-			</p>
-
-
-			<p>Second, it can help avoid certain complexities inherent with
-				other approaches. Achieving the same result using three independent
-				dereferenceable URIs could be more involved because multiple
-				documents would have to be published, perhaps also including the
-				setup of 303 redirects.</p>

-
-			<p>Quality factors allow the user or user agent to indicate the
-				relative degree of preference for a media-range, using the qvalue
-				scale from 0 to 1. The default value is q=1. Take the following for
-				example:</p>
-
-			<p>
-				<code>Accept: text/turtle; q=0.5, application/json</code>
-			</p>
-
-			<p>This should be interpreted as "I prefer application/json, but
-				send me text/turtle if it is the best available after a 50%
-				mark-down in quality."</p>
-
-			<p>Improper handling of qvalues is a common problem in
-				implementations of content negotiation.
-			</p><p>Refer to Section 14, Header Field Definitions, in the
-				[<cite><a href="#bib-HTTP11" class="bibref">HTTP11</a></cite>] specification to understand the proper use and evaluation
-				of qvalues for both client and server implementations.</p>

-
-			<p>Clients can access an LDPR using multiple URLs. An LDP server
-				should respond to each of those requests using a single consistent
-				URL, a primary URL, for the LDPR. This primary URL may be found
-				in the response's Location and/or Content-Location headers, and
-				potentially also in the representation of the LDPR. A common case is
-				URLs that vary by protocol, one HTTP and one HTTPS, but are
-				otherwise identical. In most cases those two URLs refer to the same
-				resource, and the server should respond to requests on either URL
-				with a single (primary) URL.</p>
-
-			<p>Clients should use the primary URL as an LDPR's identity;
-				for example, when determining if two URLs refer to the same resource
-				clients should compare the primary URLs, not the URLs used to
-				access the resources.  Note that this usage <em>does</em> imply that the
-				client has sufficient reason to trust the headers and/or content
-				by which the primary URL is communicated to the client, which is 
-				beyond what HTTP alone can guarantee [<cite><a href="#bib-RFC7231" class="bibref">RFC7231</a></cite>].

-			<h3 id="h3_representing-relationships-between-resources" role="heading" aria-level="2"><span class="secno">2.12 </span>Representing relationships between resources</h3>
-			<p>LDPRs can use one RDF triple to represent a link
-				(relationship) to another resource. Having the source resource’s URI
-				as the subject and the target resource’s URI as the object of the
-				triple is enough. Contrary to a misconception that readers with
-				certain backgrounds may assume, the creation of an
-				"intermediate link" resource is not required to express
-				the relationship.</p>

-			<h3 id="h3_minimize-server-specific-constraints" role="heading" aria-level="2"><span class="secno">2.13 </span>Minimize server-specific constraints</h3>
-			<p>LDP servers should enable simple creation and modification of
-				LDPRs.</p>
-
-			<p>It may be common for LDP servers to put restrictions on
-				representations – for example, the range of rdf:type predicates,
-				datatypes of the objects of predicates, and the number of
-				occurrences of predicates in an LDPR, but servers should minimize
-				such restrictions.</p>
-
-			<p>For some server applications, excessive constraints on
-				modification of resources may be required. However, enforcement of
-				more complex constraints will greatly restrict the set of clients
-				that can modify resources. For interoperability with a wider range
-				of clients, implementers are therefore encouraged to minimize
-				server-specific constraints.</p>

-				<li><strong>Linked Open Vocabularies (LOV)</strong> 
-					[<cite><a href="#bib-LOV" class="bibref">LOV</a></cite>] - an entry point to the growing

-				in the Linked Data Cloud. Users can find vocabularies listed and
-				individually described by metadata, classified by vocabulary spaces,
-				and interlinked using the dedicated vocabulary VOAF. The site allows
-				users to query the LOV dataset either at vocabulary level or at
-				element level, exploring the vocabulary content using full-text
-				faceted search, and finding metrics about the use of vocabularies in
-				the Semantic Web. Users can also suggest a new vocabulary to add to
-				LOV. [<cite><a href="#bib-LOV" class="bibref">LOV</a></cite>]</li>

+      <h2>Access Control</h2>
+      <p>
+        Access Control is a mechanism through which an agent ( an HTTP server in this case ) permits other agents -- 
+		individuals, organizations, and/or groups made up of these -- to perform certain operations on resources as 
+		specified by policies for the resources and for the agents. Within this document, the resources are LDP resources, but the access 
+		control may operate at different granularities: RDF or other documents, named graphs or individual triples.
+		The operations are typically create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) but other operations can easily be accomodated by
+		this design.
+		</p>
+		<p>
+        When an agent requests a collection of resources it gets to see only those resources or parts of resources 
+		it is authorized for.</p>
+		<p>
+		Depending on the granularity, the access control mechanisms may affect performance, but should not affect 
+		semantics.</p>
+		<p>
+		For access control to come into play, the server must restrict some operations on some resources.

+	  <ul>
+	  <li>ACG: An Access Control Graph describes the permitted modes of access for particular agents to apecific resources.</li>
+	  <li>ACG Resource: A resource whose representation contains one or more ACGs which the server relies 
+	  upon to make access control decisions.</li>
+	  </ul>
+    </section>
+	<section>
+	<h2>Usecases</h2>
+	<section>
+	<h3>Access Control on manipulation of resources via HTTP</h3>
+	Adam's user agent attempts:
+	<ol>	
+    <li>To CREATE, READ, UPDATE (or PATCH), or DELETE a resource identified by a URL.  The server may immediately 
+	allow or deny the request, or it may request that he authenticate to confirm his privileges, 
+	as specified by the ACG for the Resource.</li>
+    <li>If he is denied access, an explanation of why all or part of his request was denied should be provided 
+	so that it becomes possible to detect errors, and so that he may modify the request -- 
+	potentially to include making a request for such privileges.
+	</li>
+    <li>Adam would ideally like to know whether he will be able to perform an Action on a Resource 
+	before attempting such - i.e., whether he will have to authenticate before he is able to Read or Write the Resource.
+	</li>
+	</ol>
+	</section>
+	<section>
+	<h3>Editability of Access Control Rules using HTTP</h3>
+	<ol>
+	<li>
+    Bart's user agent logs on to a server and requests
+	the capability to read a group of related resources such as all the papers presented at a conference.</li>
+    </li>
+	<li>Employees with job titles VP or SVP can sign (update) supplier contracts.</li>
+    <li>Charlie, the Webmaster, would like to grant read access to the papers presented at a conference to all the 
+	people who attended the conference.</li>
+	</ol>
+	</section>
+	<section>
+	<h3>User Interface Scenarios</h3>
+	Eddie's HTTP based user agent would like to provide a user interface to allow, where possible, Eddie to 
+	<ol>
+	<li>Know if he can edit or delete a resource.</li>
+    <li>Know what he would have to do to have access to a resource ( be someone's friend, be part of a club, have 
+	paid a fee )</li>
+	<li>Allow Eddie to edit the access control rules for a resource such as:
+	<ol>
+        <li>Allow friends of his to access a document.</li>
+        <li>Allow friends of his to POST to a container, but only read a subset of the contents of the container, 
+		those posted by that agent for example.</li>
+        <li>Allow all the members of the LDP WG to create and edit resources including LDP Containers under a 
+		specific URL pattern.</li>
+		<li>Allow all friends of friends as expressed by the foaf:knows relations in one's foaf profile to POST comments 
+		to a container related to some content, and edit their own comments.</li>
+		<li>Allow the members of the LDP WG, the RWW CG, the WebID CG, and the member of the European Ontologist Network, 
+		to work together on set of ontologies. It should be possible to drag and drop URLs for these groups, 
+		found on the web, onto the User Interface as a way of creating the union of the members of the group.</li> 
+	</ol>
+	</ol>
+	</section>
+	<section>
+	<h2>Requirements</h2>
+	<ul>
+	<li>An Agent must be able to authenticate itself to a server with an identifier or as the owner of a token. 
+	( All use cases )</li>
+    <li>Ability to specify a collection of agents, identifying agents with URIs, URI patterns, or by description. 
+	(Usecase 3.2.2, 3.2.3)</li>
+    <li>Ability to specify a collection of resources, identified by URIs or URI patterns or by description,
+	with a specified access policy. (Usecase 3.2.1, 3.2.3)</li>
+    <li>Ability to connect a collection of agents with a collection of resources with given access privileges. 
+	( All use cases )</li>
+	</ul>
+	
+	<p>The above requirements require the ability, by an authorized agent, to CREATE, EDIT, UPDATE relevant ACGs. 
+
+	<ul>
+	<li>Ability to specify access privileges at a fine-grained level. (Usecase 3.1.2, 3.2.1.2)</li>
+    <li>The server should be able to describe access control policies for a resource. (Usecase 3.1.4, 3.3.1, 3.3.2)</li>
+    <li>The server should be able explain the reasons for access being disallowed in a machine readable format.
+	(Usecase 3.1.3)
+	</li>
+    <li>A user-agent should be able to find the ACG for a given resource.(Usecase 3.1.1)</li>
+	<li>The ability by one user agent to delegate the authority to create and edit ACGs to another agent.(Usecase 3.3.3)</li>
+	</ul>
+	</section>
+	<section>
+	<h2>Outline of a Charter for a Access Control WG</h2>
+	<p>An Access Control Graph (ACG) consists of two kinds of collections: a collection of agents and a collection of 
+	resources. It then connects a collection of agents with a collection of resources with the connection identifying 
+	the privileges the agents have on the resources: CREATE, READ, UPDATE, DELETE.</p>
+	<p>ACGs are resources in their own right and can have access control priviledges specified for them just like
+	any other resource.  This permits the creation and modification of ACGs to be delegated.
+	</p>
+	<p>
+	The members of the collection of agents contain tokens that the agents obtain from some authentication service. 
+	The members of the collection of resources are URIs or URI templates.</p>
+	<p>The WG will need to decide whether it also wants to define fine-grained access control at an attribute level.</p>
+<section>
+<h2>Deliverables</h2>
+<ul>
+<li>Define the collections that are part of the ACG and define how a collection of agents is connected to a 
+connection of resources.</li>
+<li>Define how ACGs can be created and edited and how these rights can be delegated.</li>
+<li>Describe a proof-of-concept implementation of how a request for access to a resource by an agent can be processed 
+efficiently with the ACG structure defined above.</li>
+</ul>
