The topics they tackle in their research are very similarto mine except that I am concentrating on the application of the use of policies to modeling and enforcing compliance on business processes. To that extent I also believe that using semantics for building policies for the enterprise is the way to go since it ebnnables your policy agents to interact on a higher level of abstraction and thus process many additional non-structural information ion order to take decisions. Especially in the field of enterprise modeling, modeling the assets bnecessary to take decisions is not enough when compliance rules require taking complex meta-information about the enterprise resources on which to enforce compliance. This includes business processes of course. Once you have achieved this it becomes necessary to manage change in policies and in compliance requirements in an automated way, otherwise the complexity that compliance requirements represent is going to get too overwhelming to cope with.
