Ideally Research Infrastructures should converge on the same policies, but that is often not feasible due to internal requirements (e.g. geographical, risk-tolerance etc.) In this case, a meta-data structure is proposed to clarify which additional policies are augmented by a policy, or included within it. Research Infrastructures are increasingly stacked and connected, meaning that researchers are interrupted to accept notifications of many policies to complete their work. Some of these policies are the same, and by publishing structured data about the policies it is possible to compute whether a new notification is required for a user to access a service.
What are these "Notifications"?

What does notification meta-data look like?
