Domain Model: Advisorship (Orientação)¶
1. Concept Definition¶
An Advisorship (Orientação) is a specialized type of Initiative that represents the academic guidance relationship between a Supervisor (Orientador) and a Student (Orientando).
As an Initiative, an Advisorship: - Has a specific lifecycle (Start Date, End Date, Status). - Is associated with a Research Group (Team) where the research takes place. - Involves specific Roles (members of the bank/committee).
1.1 The "Banca" (Examination Board)¶
The user specifies that an Advisorship involves a "Banca" (Board). In this domain model, the Advisorship itself acts as the central context for the Board. - The Board is a collection of Researchers (TeamMembers) associated with the Advisorship Initiative. - Roles in an Advisorship: - Supervisor (Orientador): Leader of the initiative. - Student (Orientando): The primary focus of the advisorship. - Board Member (Membro da Banca): Internal or external researchers evaluating the work.

4. Business Rules¶
- Composition: An Advisorship MUST have at least one Supervisor and one Student.
- Context: An Advisorship MUST be linked to a Research Group.
- Consistency: All participants (Supervisor, Student, Board Members) MUST be registered as Researchers/Persons.
- Board: A standard Board (Banca) consists of the Supervisor and at least two other members (for Master/Doctorate).
