Integrations Inventory and Attributes

Chapter 11. Ownership and Stakeholder attributes for the Integrations Inventory

Ownership and Stakeholder attributes identify who is accountable for each Integration and how that accountability is distributed between the source and target sides.

Attribute Name	Maturity	Description and Notes
Accountable Party	Walk	Description — Which side of the integration is accountable when something goes wrong: the Source entity owner, the Target entity owner, or a shared/middleware team. Integration ownership is rarely assigned to a single individual — accountability is negotiated between the entities the integration connects. Benefit(s) — Provides a practical, answerable governance attribute for integration accountability without requiring an organizationally unrealistic single owner. Makes escalation paths explicit for incident response. Source — Manual. Examples — Source, Target, Shared (Middleware Team), Shared (Integration Platform Team) Notes — Source and Target entity owners are derivable from their respective Noun Type inventories — they are not duplicated here. Accountable Party records only the agreement about who owns the integration wire itself.
