Introduction
When multiple composite applications use a service, it is vital, for effective governance, to determine who is responsible for that service.
Often, an enterprise organizes its staff reporting structure and finances around business operations. To the extent that an SOA organizes the enterprise's IT around those same operations, the department responsible for certain operations can also be responsible for the development and run time of the IT for those operations; that department owns those services. Yet the services and composite applications in an SOA often do not follow an enterprise's strict hierarchical reporting and financial structure, creating gaps and overlap in IT responsibilities.
Creating organizations
As part of the setup, you create organizations that are represented in the registry. These are required to allow relationships to be built between services and organizations, to show service ownership and consumption.
