That’s the intended way to go. Do you have an idea how we could convey that even better in the text?

The details of which parts we standardize on are still, I think, up for grabs. I’d be happy to have a better name than “data” for this aspect, but I think there’s value in defining this kind of thing. Like in the financial space, it’s the difference between “transactions” and “accounts”. Or in the medical space, there’s “demographics” and “appointments” and “testResults”. This is a very, very, very common way to slice up OAuth-protected resources, and we’d be remiss to leave it undefined and just have every API developer need to come up with their own version of the same thing.

I'm struggling with "data" more than the others. The definition in the -02 draft is an "array of strings representing the kinds of data being requested from the resource" and I'm honestly having a hard time understanding what that actually means or how it would be used in practice. And I'm not sure roughly equating it to “what kind of thing I want” helped me understand any better.

>>> The idea behind the “locations”, “actions”, “data”, and “identifier” data element types mirrors what I’ve seen “scope” used for in the wild. They roughly equate to “where something is”, “what I want to do with it”, “what kind of thing I want”, and “the exact thing I want”, respectively. I’m completely open for better names, and have even been thinking “datatype” might be better than just “data” for the third one.

This mechanisms was designed based on experiences gathered in the field of open banking, e.g. PSD2, and is intended to make the implementation of rich and transaction oriented authorization requests much easier than with current OAuth 2.0.
