Description of Changes

Metadata Types

  • Correction to the Campaign classification.

    The Campaign classification is supposed to connect to a Project entity to indicate the project
    is a grouping of a series of projects designed to achieve a large goal. Unfortunately it was coded to connect to
    the Collection entity. In 2.10, the Campaign classification has been changed to attach to Referenceable
    to allow it to be connected to Project without affecting backward compatibility.

    See new type description in model 0130.

  • Extension of the UsedInContext relationship.

    The UsedInContext relationship linked two GlossaryTerm entities together to show that one glossary term described
    the context in which the other was valid. This relationship has been updated to allow the end that describes
    the context to be a Referenceable. This means that the context where glossary terms are valid can be expressed
    as elements such as projects, business capabilities, parts of an organization, subject areas, zones and many more.

    See new type description in model 0360.

  • Allowing ownership to be expressed as a PersonRole.

    Issue #5104 described the problem that the
    governance open metadata types allowed owners to be expressed as PersonalProfile or UserIdentity
    entities.
    The properties did not identify if the owner was identified as a GUID or as a qualifiedName.
    In 2.10, a new classification for expressing ownership called, not surprisingly, Ownership,
    was introduced which allows and type and property name for the owner to be specified with the
    owner's identifier. The types for entities such as GovernanceActionType and IncidentReport that include
    ownership properties in them have been updated to deprecate these properties in favor of using
    the Ownership classification. The AssetOwnership classification is also deprecated.

    See new type description in model 0445.

  • Update to Certification relationship.

    The Certification relationship supports the identification of the people involved in the certification of an element. 2.10 adds
    new attributes to specify the type and property names of the identifier used to identify these people.
    This is consistent with the new Ownership classification.

    See new type descriptions in model 0482.

  • Update to License relationship.

    The License relationship supports the identification of the people involved in the licencing of an element. 2.10 adds
    new attributes to specify the type and property names of the identifier used to identify these people.
    This is consistent with the new Ownership classification.

    See new type descriptions in model 0481.

  • Governance role updates.

    The GovernanceOfficer entity now inherits from GovernanceRole rather than PersonRole.
    This means it is just another governance role that can be linked with GovernanceResponsibility
    definitions. In addition there are new types for different types of owners. These are ComponentOwner
    and DataItemOwner.

    See new type descriptions in model 0445.

  • Extend the GovernanceResponsibilityAssignment

    The GovernanceResponsibilityAssignment relationship identifies the responsibilities for a particular role.
    It used to link to a GovernanceRole and in 2.10, it has been updated to link to a PersonRole. This means
    that governance responsibilities can be added to any role, such as ProjectManager and CommunityMember,
    rather than just specialized governance roles.

    See new type descriptions in model 0445.

  • Deprecating the domain attribute in various governance types.

    The domain attribute is typed by the GovernanceDomain enum. This provides a fixed list of governance domains.
    An extensible mechanism for expressing the governance domain was added in release 2.4 using the
    GovernanceDomainDescription entity and the domainIdentifier attribute.
    In this release, the use of domain is deprecated in GovernanceDefinition,
    GovernanceZone, SubjectAreaDefinition, GovernanceMetric, GovernanceRole and GovernanceOfficer.

    See new type descriptions in model 0401.

  • Extensions to governance drivers.

    There are now new subtypes of the GovernanceDriver entity called RegulationArticle and
    BusinessImperative. It is also possible to link governance drivers using the new
    GovernanceDriverLink relationship.

    See new type descriptions in model 0405.

  • Update to AssetOrigin classification.

    The AssetOrigin classification supports the identification of the origin of an asset. This can be in terms of the
    organization, business capability and other values. 2.10 adds new attributes to identify if the
    organization or business capability is identified by its GUID or qualifiedName.

    See new type descriptions in model 0440.

  • Improve IncidentClassifiers.

    If is possible to define multiple sets of IncidentClassifier values that can be
    used on IncidentReport entities to help to group and prioritize them. The IncidentClassifier entity
    now inherits from Referencable and there is a new classification called IncidentClassifierSet
    to mark a Collection entity as containing IncidentClassifier definitions.

    See new type descriptions in model 0470.

  • Deprecation of ResponsibilityStaffContact.

    The ResponsibilityStaffContact relationship has been deprecated in favor of the
    GovernanceResponsibilityAssignment relationship.

New Services for Governance Program OMAS

The APIs defined for Governance Program OMAS have been updated to reflect the changes
to the open metadata types described above. The APIs and client implementations
are in place. The server-side is coming in a future release.

Bug fixes and other updates

  • Additional Bug Fixes

    • Cascaded deletes for entities grouped using the Anchors classification
      are now deleting the correct entities. Prior to this release, some entities were
      missed and others were deleted incorrectly.

  • Dependency Updates

For details on both see the commit history in GitHub.

Known Issues

  • It is recommended to use a chromium-based browser such as Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge, or Apple Safari for the Egeria React UI. Some parts of the UI experience such as Dino currently experience problems with Firefox. See odpi/egeria-react-ui#96 .
  • When running the 'Understanding Platform Services' lab, ensure you run the 'egeria-service-config' notebook first and do not restart the python kernel before running this lab. See #4842 .
  • The governance samples currently do not work. See See #5300 and See #5299 for more details
  • When logging in to the react UI for the coco pharma lab demo, ensure to use http://myhost.mydomain/coco/login as otherwise the login will not work. see odpi/egeria#41
  • A few further UI bugs are noted at #5211 (comment)
