Registry tool: wanted - a representation for approvals

[timburks]

We would like to represent approvals in the registry to support lifecycle-related governance checks. We can represent arbitrary records with FieldSets, but I think this might be a specific enough requirement to call for a specific type. Initially I think we would just accept arbitrary claims, but we might eventually allow digital signatures or MACs to be added to validate stored approvals.

Do we understand well enough how our approval lifecycle should work to implement this?

I'm not sure we should have much opinion on what the approval lifecycle should be, as it can vary a lot by company. Seems to me that it should be able to represent whether a claim is needed or given, but ideally that happens in an external system that manages that business process, such as ServiceNow.

How about this as a starting point? "We would like to support lifecycle-related governance checks in the registry." (would we?)
