Introduction

The SOA Governance framework of CentraSite:

Broadly speaking, an organization represents an entity that owns a particular collection of assets. Within a CentraSite registry, any object that is not an organization belongs to an organization. In this respect, organizations enable you to partition your registry into autonomous collections of objects that can be administered independently.

Typically, you define organizations that represent actual entities within your enterprise, such as functional lines of business, regional subsidiaries or branches, legal entities, B2B partners (e.g., suppliers and customers), projects or departments. You can define parent-child associations between organizations to model the hierarchical structure of entities in your enterprise.

Organizations also function as a scoping mechanism for the following registry functions:

For example, organizations enable administrators to create lifecycle models and design/change-time policies that apply only to the assets that belong to their organization.
