Govern
Give Living Business Objects their governed operational life.
GOVERN CAPABILITIES
Everything the object needs to remain governed as it evolves.
Govern is the base Capability Pack of Coopera. It defines the structure, content, lifecycle, relationships, permissions, rules and evidence that form the persistent operational context of every Living Business Object.

Object & Information Model
Define Living Business Object types, libraries, metadata, typed attributes, validation, classifications and business identifiers.

Content Governance
Manage documents, records and communications with libraries, metadata, versions, controlled editing, composition, retention and secure access.

Case-Oriented Structures
Create persistent case contexts that bring together information, content, relationships, lifecycle, responsibilities, evidence and work.

Lifecycle & State
Model states, transitions, guards and event- or time-driven behavior while preventing changes that are not legitimate in the current condition.

Rules & Contextual Actions
Evaluate object context and determine which actions are available, required, blocked or deferred according to configured business rules.

Relationships & Aggregation
Connect Living Business Objects through parent-child and peer relationships and govern how related information or changes affect their context.

Permissions & Privileges
Control access through roles, teams and organizational units, including direct object-user privileges and contextual action authorization.

Evidence, History & Responsibility
Preserve ownership, responsibilities, object evolution, decisions and supporting evidence as part of the operational history.

Search & Retrieval
Find governed objects and content through structured and permission-aware full-text search, with semantic retrieval when Understand is active.
Govern keeps the object coherent as everything around it changes.
Content arrives. States change. Relationships evolve. Work starts and finishes. People and systems act. Govern keeps identity, rules, permissions, evidence and operational history connected to the Living Business Object throughout its life.
