A relationship between 2 organizations over a period of time, where the entities are separate business entities. The relationship can optionally include details of locations/services from the participating organization.
The OrganizationAffiliation enables defining non-hierarchical relationships between organizations. For example:
The Organization.partOf is used to form a hierarchical relationships within an organization which eventually resolves
to a single organization. Each child in the tree is a subdivision of the parent.
The OrganizationAffiliation is used to describe the relationship between two distinct organizations. It does not require
a hierarchical relationship. A resource instance is for a singular linkage between 2 organizations (it does not contain all members),
to create multiple affiliations, create additional resources for the other relationship between other organizations.
Each instance contains its own period, and optionally links to specific related services/locations that are available.
These referenced locations/services should be associated with the participating organization, and are available to the
primary organization.
This resource should not be used when the affiliates are part of a single organization.
With a joint venture between multiple organizations, a seperate Organization is created which represents the Venture. Each Organization in the venture is created through a seperate OrganizationAffiliation resource with the telecom details provided in each being the contact point to call for enquiries relating to their affiliation in the venture.
