-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 +

-  * 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. +
