org.cispec.orgunit

core key required: any CI

org.cispec.orgunit identifies the organisational unit responsible for a Change Item — a team, department, or business unit within the owning organisation. Where org.cispec.organization names the accountable legal entity, orgunit narrows that to the part of the entity actually responsible for day-to-day handling.

orgunit and costcenter are distinct terms: a single org unit can span multiple cost centres and vice versa. Aligning unit slugs with cost centre boundaries (hr, it, r-and-d) is a common practice but not a requirement of this specification.

Value format

A lower-case slug: alphanumeric characters and hyphens only, no leading or trailing hyphen.

org.cispec.orgunit=dps

The slug is scoped within its parent organization — dps under daplanet need not be globally unique, only unique within that organisation’s own unit naming.

Conformance

org.cispec.orgunit is REQUIRED for Declared conformance on any Change Item, regardless of type.

Attestation

orgunit is not independently attestable. It is an internal organisational structure detail with no external registry to verify against; this specification does not require it to resolve anywhere. Verification of organisational structure, where it matters, is an implementation concern for the owning organisation’s own directory or HR system — out of scope for this specification.

Resolution and relation

Every Change Item sharing the same orgunit value forms an edge in your label set — “everything dps is responsible for” is a real, expected query, answered the same way as for owner and organization: by whatever system of record the organisation runs, not by this specification.
