Share token issuance for declarative document authoring

Abstract

Issuance of job tokens performed by an authorization computing entity so that authoring authorizations can be shared with other authors. Each of the job tokens represents an authorization to engage ina particular manner in an authoring session in which a declarative document is being authored. That engagement includes sharing one or more authorizations with other possible author. The declarativedocument is a computer program in the form of a list of declarative statements made in a declarative programming language. The management occurs by evaluating incoming requests to engage in various ways in an authoring session.

Description

Background technique [0001] A declarative document is a collection of declarations that represent the logic of a computation rather than describe the lower-level control flow. Because these declarations are usually easier for humans to read, collections of declarations are often referred to as "documents" rather than "programs". Furthermore, the creation of such documents is often referred to as "authoring" rather than "programming". [0002] Because declarations are more human-readable and intuitive to most people, more individuals are able to author declarative documents than program in imperative or object-oriented languages. Therefore, the declarative authoring experience differs from the computer programming experience. In a declarative authoring experience, it appears to the user that the user is authoring a document, but after compilation, the document can contain computer-executable code. For example, a document may be a chain or graph of transformations with associ...
