with what granted roles? from which organization?

permissions required: retrieve these resource types

content (license) owned by organization different than user's

clone = retrieve, then create ie. required permissions: {retrieve,create:}

generally speaking, there can be a few independent but overlapping mechanism that will control who is allowed to do what with content: 1. any subject's access to the content itself can be controlled via authorization rules (ie. required vs granted permissions) enforced via system-wide resource-based access control 2. content licensors (~content owners) can restrict the usage of their content by: * whom - ie. content licensee (legally/commercially represented by an organization) * how - eg. reuse as unmodified, create derivatives, composite, redistribute, etc * where - ie. distribution channels their content can be used (eg. only on hotel's vbrochure site, but not in any ids/gds channels) * when - temporal restrictions may limit scope of content license grant by: start, end, duration, season, etc 3. content licensees can further filter or funnel content available to them (resulting from a combination of license granted to them and access control) based on their own criteria (eg. generate a templated hotel presentation only if: at least 1 textual description, 5 photos and 1 video for a hotel is available with a license to combine them (composite content)

permission required: retrieve hotel descriptive content(?) owned by independent organization

displayed where? on specific channels?

if ecm/vfml is to manage content licensing as a third party between organizations (content licensors & licensees) shouldn't ecm *know* if the user('s organization) has rights to use the content in question? is this question posed to the user (with required explicit acknowledgement) purely to absolve vfml from liability issues that may result from licensing disagreements?

this being the user's (organization's) 'version'or 'view'of the hotel, since this user normally wouldn't/shouldn't be granted permissions to replace content for a hotel on a different organization's 'view'or 'version' of the same hotel

this implies that *at least* one version of such (temporarily) replaceable content needs to be managed/maintaned to allow reverting what if, deliberately, ignorantly or maliciously, a user replaces the same piece of--textual or any type, really--content for this hotel n times? will all n versions be required to be managed as an undo history? the user's ''original content'' might have been version 1, but equally might have been 1 mean: - previous version of the content, regardless of which user - initial version of that content attached to the hotel regardless of which user created/updated it and ignoring which organization owns it?, or, -

authorization

ie. cube node-org-chain tree reflects icpm relationships exactly & always

user:album = 1:n

album:photo = 1:n
