Abstract

A method for defining a policy for providing access to a system is provided. The method includes: identifying, for each of a plurality of information classes within an information model, at least one respective information attribute; defining, for at least one of the at least one respective information attribute, a respective predicate filter function; determining, based on the defined at least one respective predicate filter function, at least one access rule that relates to a corresponding information attribute; defining the policy with respect to each of the plurality of information classes based on the constructed API and each of the determined at least one access rule; and constructing an application programming interface (API) for the information model based on the defined policy. The API may be augmented by updating parameters based on the defined policy.
