 +with input from (http://​en.wikipedia.org/​wiki/​Italian_Criminal_Procedure#​Parties) 
 + 
 +Actors 
 +Parties may have agents acting on their behalf, and these agents may be restricted in their access to the KB to some subset of the authority of the Party. 
 + 
 +  - Judges - may be different depending on stage of proceedings 
 +  - suspect 
 +  - defendant 
 +  - prosecutor 
 +  - police

 +  * Update (PUT/​PATCH) 
 +  * Delete (DELETE) 
 + 
 +Note that the difference between Create and Update is a function of the modularity of the KB. In a highly modular architecture,​ a new table/​knowledgebase-module may be created when a law is passed, when an investigation is opened, etc.. In a less modular architecture,​ these actions may be Updates rather than Creates.
