I’m not sure (using the original binding obligations terms) that the Requesting Party is always an agent of the Authorizing Party, if that means there’s an “on behalf of” relationship. In fact, I’m sure they’re not always (though sometimes they might be). What if research firm BobCo wants to use Alice’s health or demographic data in a study, and she agrees?

Here is a very rudimentary example of provisions to adopt the Restatement of Agency as legal framing for an agreement. It is just a stub.

I plopped this into a little demo for UMA terms that I did earlier and made a few adaptations. It is obviously incomplete, among other reasons because the Requesting Party (whom I take to be an agent of the Authorizing Party) has an agent (the Requesting Party Agent). This would need to be addressed and "Parties" would need to include all three. The goal of this little demo is to give a sense of how CommonAccord can integrate legal text.
