What do you mean by "validate"?
You could test a provenenace instance against a profile. But I guess that you mean something else.

Hi, Can any one suggest
How to use Policy in Provenance like OAuth or XACML

The policy element in Provenance is there to record the use-case where data are imported with the authorization of the named policy. This is simply a record of the policy (by identifier) that authorized the import. This is not the enforcement or decision engine, this is simply recording a fact.

such as when a Patient gives authorization to a Clinical-Research project. The import of each data element (Resource) could then be easily linked back to that one Consent. In this way if that Consent is rescinded then that Clinical-Research project knows all the data that must now be rescinded, as long as that data element don't have other Provenance with policy elements authorizing their retention. --- Note I am using Clinical-Research in my use-case here, but the element is not limited to Clinical-Research, nor is Clinical-Research a specific target use-case. I use it a it is very distinct from Treatment use-cases where this kind of thing is a much less likely used element.
