Relation: hasBusinessOwner to be moved #16

Closed drleidig closed 12 years ago

drleidig commented 12 years ago

USDL M5 says:

"BusinessOwner represents an entity that shares some of the responsibilities of the provider regarding interaction between provider and consumer. Business owners can be understood as sales channels with custodial ownership of services.

Example: A Software-as-a-Service provider that operates globally sells its services through national subsidiaries, which are different legal entities. Consumers interact with the subsidiaries (business owner) but services are delivered by the parent company (provider). A subsidiary is the main partner in sales contracts, provides support and is addressed in case of liabilities."

Shouldn't we move this relation into a OSSN or business model vocabulary?

Yes, I think this falls down to the notion of Role. I would say however, that the Roles do not belong to OSSN, though.

Let's close this issue and follow up on #32.
