§ 2.3 Role Schema

A role is a set of responsibilities defined in a process and assigned to a person or team. In this instance, ISO 19770-8, NISTIR 8278, and the UCF have employed schemas depicting roles for contributors. The UCF’s schema is more advanced than the other two in that it’s particular schema calls for three levels of contributors during the mapping process:

• Mapper: the initial contributor for the content;

• Reviewer: the person who follows the same steps as the Mapper and either accepts the Mapper’s outcome or disputes it; and the

• Approver: who is the person who follows the Reviewer and either accepts the joint outcome or disputes it.

In future versions, the Roles table might be expanded to accommodate the research listed HERE.
