The COmanage Registry Data Model revolves around the CO Person, which conceptually represents one person associated with a CO.

• A COmanage installation is referred to as a Collaboration Management Platform, or CMP.
• A CMP is a multi-tenant installation, each tenant is referred to as a Collaborative Organization or CO.
• The core operational record of a participant within the CO is the CO Person.
  • The CO Person record maintains information that is unique to a person within the CO, such as names and identifiers.
  • An individual person should only have one CO Person record within a CO.
  • However, an individual person may participate in multiple COs housed within the same CMP, and could therefore have multiple CO Person records (each isolated from the other) within the CMP.
• In order for a person to become a CO Person, they must first have at least one Org Organizational Identity, which conceptually represents their identity as asserted by a "home" or "external" institution, such as their University or a social identity provider.
  • It is possible for Org Identity records to be pooled across all COs within the CMP, however this setting is deprecated and not recommended.
• A CO Person record is created and one or more Org Identities are linked to it. The CO Person record maintains information that is unique to a person within the CO, such as names and identifiers. 
• A CO Person may have one or more CO Person Roles within the CO. A CO Person Role record maintains information that is unique to a role a person has within a CO, such as title and physical address.

There are two ways to create sets of CO People within a CO.

• CO Groups are simple collections of CO People. Any CO Person can create a CO Group.
• CO Units (or COUs) are intended to represent an organizational hierarchy, including delegation of CO Person administration. Only CO Administrators can create COUs.
  • When COUs are enabled, CO Person Roles are attached to COUs.
