Description

An OsidGovernator is a control point to govern the behavior of a service. OsidGovernators generally indicate the presence of OsidEnablers and other rules to provide a means of managing service operations and constraints from a "behind the scenes" perspective. The OsidGovernator is a focal point for these various rules.

OsidGovernators are Sourceable. An OsidGovernator implies a governance that often corresponds to a provider of a business process. OsidGovernators are Operable. They indicate an active and operational status and related rules may be administratively overridden using this control point. Administratively setting the enabled or disabled flags in the operator overrides any enabling rule mapped to this OsidGovernator.
