Facets

Facets serve as a grouping of different classes, as defined in the OIO-specifications. Within the data models used in OS2MO, model fields corresponding to a facet name is expected to contain a reference to a class contained in that facet. E.g. the field responsibility in the manager data model, contains a reference to a class contained in the responsibility facet.

Similarly, when creating new relations or objects in the UI, the dropdown for selecting responsibility will contain every class from the responsibility facet.

The exception to this general rule, are the fields address_type and job_function found in various data models. For these fields, various facets exist depending on which context the field is used in. E.g. address_type associated with manager objects, should contain a class from the manager_address_type facet. The address_type classes relevant in multiple contexts should be related to multiple facets, as opposed to duplicating the classes for each facet.

The system currently works with the following facets:

---

org_unit_address_type Address types applicable to organisational units

employee_address_type Address types applicable to employees

manager_address_type Address types applicable to managers

visibility Visibility for addresses, e.g. public or secret addresses
