Abstract
A method, apparatus, system, and computer program product evaluate an information asset with a corpus of policies in conjunction with the context of access including a specific user. A large corresponding set of rules in the policy corpus are identified by computer system. A continuous process of rule evaluation occurs against information asset metadata wherein a series of processing including set of common subexpressions between the predicates of all active rules, pre-evaluation, compaction and storage are identified by the computer system in the policy and rule corpus. Metadata for the information asset is applied by the computer system to the set of common subexpressions to form partially evaluated rules for the policy. The partially evaluated rules henceforth compacted are stored by the computer system in association with the information asset. Subsequently the partially evaluated rules are a compressed form of the rule corpus for the policies in the system and hence reduce computer resources and significantly improve the response tome used to evaluate the enforcement decision for the said information asset with the policy in conjunction with the context of access. The process …
