The template Postion Holder is used to show relationship between a person object and a position object in an organizational diagram.
Architecture Layer: Organization
Position
The symbol “Position” represents a specific job or role within an organization. It can be used to identify the specific positions within an organizational chart or to represent the responsibilities and duties associated with a particular job. The symbol may include information such as the job title, task and the position holders. The symbol is often used in combination with other symbols and shapes to create an overall picture of an organization’s structure and operations.
Person
A Person template captures the relevant data for a person in the repository.
A Person-object can be described with a set of attributes.
A person object can be related to a set of other organizational objects as illustrated below.
Interest Group
InterestGroup is a template that can be used to collect a set of organizational objects into a group.
In the standard Metamodel you can include the following templates types into an interest group:
- Person
- OrganizationUnit
- InterestGroup
- Postion
- Role
An InterestGroup can be used to in relation to other objects in the repository, in relations to GovernanceWorkFlows or AcknowledgeLists.
Correspondence
The connection Correspondence is used to show relationship between a stakeholder object and a organizational object (Organizational unit, Person, Position, Role, InterestGroup, ExternalEntity) in a diagram (e.g. organizational diagram or Stakeholder Model).
Stakeholder Model
Purpose: The purpose of the Stakeholder Model template is to document internal and external individuals or groups who have a stake in for example an enterprise or a project. Below, you can see an example of a Stakeholder Model of Order Management:
Core concerns: Stakeholders can be grouped via Business Scope. Stakeholder relations are illustrated via the Interaction connection. Beyond this, you can enrich the Stakeholder Model with Capabilities, Business Processes, Information Systems, Initiatives, and Projects. Below, you can see several groupings of stakeholders:
Relation to other diagrams: The Interaction connections in the Stakeholder Model can be broken down into Requirement Models. The internal structure of the organization is modelled in an Organization Diagram while the interaction between the organization and its external environment can be modelled in a Business Ecosystem.
Properties and metadata: The Stakeholder Model can for example retain the following information:
- A description of the diagram
- Link to the owner of the diagram
- Link to the one responsible for the accuracy of the diagram
- Audits (auto generated information regarding its current state and access rights)
- Associated documents, diagrams and other objects
- Inherent Risk detailing risk considerations
- Governance information detailing information about the published diagram and who has been involved in the approval of the diagram
- Project status: information about budgeted and actual man-hours spent, percentage completed and the latest milestone, result and quality control of a change process.

- Project status: information about budgeted and actual man-hours spent, percentage completed and the latest milestone, result and quality control of a change process.
