extends AssetReferenceable

    Certification stores the certifications awarded to the asset.

    Many regulations and industry bodies define certifications that can confirm a level of support, capability or competence in an aspect of a digital organization's operation. Having certifications may be necessary to operating legally or may be a business advantage.

    The certifications awarded to an asset can be captured in the metadata repository to enable both effective use and management of the certification process.
