Institutional Reference Groups

The UNC Charlotte IAM team will manage various groups that represent institutionally meaning cohorts. The top-level stem "ref" is established to name systems of institutional data which are advantageously exposed as groups for use by applications. For example, student statuses, institutional affiliations, courses, and organizational hierarchies all determine systems of groups. Groups used to manage processes that maintain these structures may also be named with this stem. Some examples of reference data are:
