Abstract: This is an exploratory paper in which we describe aspects of management policy which could be modelled as objects in a distributed computer system, in order to enable them to be queried and manipulated. Policies are 'the plans of an organisation to meet its goals'. They are persistent entities which are intended to influence actions, either by motivating actions or by authorising them. This distinction reflects the observation that agents only successfully carry out actions if they are both... (Update)
