Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture consistent with the present invention provide for access control over dynamic intellectual capital content. A subscriber subscribes to a datatype, the datatype having a predetermined runtime property that restricts use of the datatype. The datatype is associated with a data referenced in the datatype and maintained separate from the datatype. The datatype is received responsive to the subscription. A determination is made whether the runtime properties are valid. If the runtime properties are valid, a determination is made whether a user of the subscriber has permission to access the data referenced in the datatype. If the user has permission to access the data, the user is provided access to the data.
