Policy Template Design is the task of creating policy templates that capture the generic and vendor independent aspects of a policy for a particular domain use case. The policy template also specifies and publishes the model information, rules, and tasks that it requires to generate concrete policies.
A policy template is written for a certain type of PDP. A policy template is developed for a certain type of PDP (for example XACML oriented for decision policies or Drools rules oriented for ECA policies). The design environment and tool chain for a policy template is specific for the type of policy being designed. The policy template is available as a Maven artifact once it has been designed.
