Release Control Role

Go up to Terms and Definitions

The Release Control Role identifies responsibility for preparing and controlling the authorized release of FX information.

This role includes applying policy decisions, selecting authorized information, applying required redaction or transformation, recording obligations, preparing FX Release Packages, and preserving release provenance.

The Release Control Role participates primarily in the FX Logical Policy and Release Plane. It also supports the FX Logical Audit and Provenance Plane when release records preserve policy decision references, released information, recipient context, obligations, timestamp, and evidence expectations.

Specialization of Logical Node Role from Part 2: Distributed Node-Based Logical Architecture, Section 6.4, Logical Policy Constraints from Part 2: Distributed Node-Based Logical Architecture, Section 11.7, and Policy and Release Plane from Part 1: Conceptual Architecture, Section 8.5; generalised from IEF release-control, redaction, transformation, obligation, and release-package material in the original FX Demo Reference Architecture.

The Release Control Role does not prescribe a release service, redaction engine, transformation engine, gateway, API, file package, protocol, or delivery mechanism.

The FX Policy and Release Node performs the Release Control Role when it prepares an FX Release Package for an authorized External Oversight Participant.
