Governed collections
When an object is governed in WSRR a governed collection is created which not only contains the object that was governed but potentially a number of other objects as well.
Example
Given the objects, A, B and C with
the following relationships:
A -> B -> C
If A
is governed, then provided B and C do not already belong to a governed
collection, B and C are included in the same governed collection as
A. Because A is the object that is governed, it is referred to as
the root governed object. When A, B and C are part of a governed collection, should a relationship be created between one of those objects and some new object (D) that is not already part of the governed collection, then D will be added to the governed collection.
For the graph A -> B -> C, the governed collection is {A,B,C}
When you add the relationship A -> D, the governed collection becomes {A,B,C,D}.
Now consider the object
E. E is already a member of its own governed collection. It is the
root governed object and there are no other objects in the same collection.
If a relationship is made from B to E, E does not get added to the
same governed collection as B:
A -> B -> C
A -> D
B -> E
There are two distinct governed collections here. {A,B,C,D} and {E}.Lastly,
consider another graph of objects. X, Y and Z. They are not governed
but have the following relationships:
X -> Y -> Z
If
a relationship is created between E and X, the objects X, Y, and Z
will be added to E's governed collection: E -> X -> Y -> Z
The
governed collection is {E,X,Y,Z}.In general
it is not possible for a governed object (an object within a governed
collection) to have a relationship to a non-governed object. If the
target object of the relationship is initially ungoverned, it is incorporated
into the same governed collection as the source. If the target object
is already part of a governed collection it will remain so.
Note: Logical
objects are not part of a governance collection; however, they are
classified with the governance classification of their source document.
