Policy Languages
To represent a concrete policy especially for automated enforcement of it, a language representation is needed. There exist a lot of application specific languages that are closely coupled with the security mechanisms that enforce the policy in that application.
Compared with this abstract policy languages, e.g. the Domain Type Enforcement-Language, are independent of the concrete mechanism.

Famous quotes containing the words policy and/or languages:
“In considering the policy to be adopted for suppressing the insurrection, I have been anxious and careful that the inevitable conflict for this purpose shall not degenerate into a violent and remorseless revolutionary struggle.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“People in places many of us never heard of, whose names we can’t pronounce or even spell, are speaking up for themselves. They speak in languages we once classified as “exotic” but whose mastery is now essential for our diplomats and businessmen. But what they say is very much the same the world over. They want a decent standard of living. They want human dignity and a voice in their own futures. They want their children to grow up strong and healthy and free.”
—Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)
