A trusted digital repository requires the enforcement and validation of high-level policies. Within the integrated Rule-Oriented Data-management System (iRODS), these policies may be encoded as machine-actionable rules that control the execution of workflows at each storage location. Policies that manage the objects in the repository are augmented with policies to manage ingest and extraction of required metadata. This paper describes a system that provides a graphical environment for policy definition that specifies policy elements as modules, composes policies from these elements, and monitors the application of policies at ingest.
