In order to efficiently govern enterprise artifacts it’s necessary to have a mechanism that represents the complex relationships between them. You also need to be able to view those associations in a way that clearly shows how changes to one artifact is going to affect another. WSO2 Governance Registry provides a configurable association model for users to easily associate artifacts with each other via a publisher application. Then, with the dependency visualization feature, users can view a graph of the artifacts with edges representing associations among these artifacts. This graph can be used to obtain a summarized view of associations allowing users to easily locate relationship information. This webinar will deep dive into this feature and discuss Associations among artifacts Configuring association types Managing associations Dependency visualization graph
