The authorization is the complex process that guarantees the access to certain resources (physical or computer‐based information system). In this article, we present our contributions to the creation and development of a new authorization concept based on qualifications to grant access to physical resources. The qualifications will be obtained through a learning process, and the access control to resources will be realized based on the qualifications, according to the abilities of the entities that request access right. This concept can be implemented by using any programming language, pointing out, in the same time, the necessity of using an integration platform. In this respect, we will present the phases of developing this concept, from the moment it became necessary to its abstractive representation, by going through its natural phases: definition of the component elements and their relations, workflow, and management. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
