OCE.5:0.1 - Working Distinctions

Name used hereMeaning
organization positionAn organization-dependent institutional subject whose identity depends on one owning organization, an effective establishment basis, and identity-bearing expected-contribution and assignment-eligibility criteria.
establishment basisThe applicable constitutive rule and the authorized act or other facts satisfying it for the owning organization. A statute, charter, bylaw, or organization decision may supply the rule or its application basis. A document is evidence or a carrier unless the applicable rule gives its issuance constitutive effect.
continuation basisThe current facts and governed relation under which the position remains in force with the same identity-bearing criteria.
expected contributionA possible-future contribution expected from a holder assigned through an eligible system-role kind. It is position content, not performed Work or evidence of result.
assignment-eligibility criteriaCriteria selecting which local system-role kinds may be assigned in relation to the position. Classify a particular System, assess its capability, and establish its assignment separately.
position descriptionAn episteme describing the position, basis, expected contributions, eligibility, conditions, and neighboring requirements. Editing the description changes the episteme first.
holderOne actual U.System that may participate in an assignment concerning the position. A position can be vacant, and one System can hold several assignments.
titleA designation useful for recognition and retrieval. Title continuity does not prove position continuity; title change does not by itself reidentify the position.
