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.
A Notice Presentation element then picks up the metadata and processes it to minimise contact with the user.
What are these "Notifications"?

The following is an example of a fictional "purpose binding" policy at URL "https://operations-portal.egi.eu/vo/view/voname/xenon.biggrid.nl" that augments the WISE AUP with its description field " "detector construction and experiment analysis for the search the search of dark matter using Xenon detectors". This means that a user would be shown the WISE AUP with the placeholder for purpose binding filled in with this description.
