However, many problems about the major components of ACL, which are the communication language, the content language, and the ontology, still exist. The problems are mainly about the practical use and the applicable of ACL with different applications. This study proposes a model, which encodes all ACL components with Extensible Markup Language Declarative Description (XML-DD). XML-DD is an applicable language for the entire ACL because it provided solutions for the problems addressed. However, the model still preserves the original ACL concept that considers each component independently from each other. The design of the model includes XML schemas for ACL and XML-DD statements representing the content of an example domain about business transactions. In order to validate the effectiveness of the model, a prototype system that applies the proposed model is developed. The analyzed features along with the practical aspects observed from the prototype system development reveal the validity and effectiveness of the proposed model.
