The fourth step in getting started with Governance is to identify initial Governance stakeholders.
This chapter contains the following sections:
Now that you've identified the assets that should be governed, it's time to work with the stakeholders to:
Determine how they can best leverage the Enterprise Repository
Identify additional metadata required by stakeholders
Modify taxonomies/categorizations
Customize/tailor each stakeholder's access to and views of assets
