CREATING AND MANAGING A POLICY CONTINUUM
First Claim
1. A method for managing a policy, the method comprising:
- accessing at least one policy, residing at a first abstraction level, where each policy includes a plurality of language elements in a first vocabulary set;
performing semantic resolution using a set of ontologies by mapping at least one of the language elements in the first vocabulary set to at least one of a plurality of language elements in a second vocabulary set, the second vocabulary set having at least one of a different grammar and a different vocabulary from the first vocabulary set; and
in response to the semantic resolution, creating a second policy that is related to the first policy.

Abstract
A method and system for managing a policy includes a memory adapted to store at least one policy, residing at a first abstraction level, where each policy includes a plurality of language elements in a first vocabulary set and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory and adapted to perform semantic resolution using a set of ontologies by mapping at least one of the language elements in the first vocabulary set to at least one of a plurality of language elements in a second vocabulary set, the second vocabulary set having at least one of a different grammar and a different vocabulary from the first vocabulary set create a second policy, in response to the semantic resolution.

11. A method for managing a policy, the method comprising:
-
modeling at least a first set of policies, all at one policy continuum level, as a set of mathematical operations that describe possible computations of each of the first set of policies; modeling at least a second set of policies, all at a different policy continuum level than that of the first set of policies, as a set of mathematical operations that describe possible computations of each of the second set of policies; and analyzing both the first set of policies and the second set of policies to ensure that a mapping between the mathematical operations of the first set of policies and the mathematical operations of the second set of policies exists without producing a conflict therebetween. - View Dependent Claims (12)
