Displaying the Working Environment of an Enterprise
A repository can be partitioned into Enterprises.
An enterprise is a purposeful undertaking, an effort conducted by one or more organizations, aiming at delivering goods and services, in accordance with the enterprise mission in its changing environment. The enterprise establishes the enterprise goals to be achieved as well as the strategic action plans used to achieve these goals. It comprises transformation stages in which the capacities or deliverables to be reached are defined.
When associated with a working environment, enterprises are entry points into IA; the environment provides privileged access to the objects held and used by the enterprise in question.
