Welcome to o9-ent — a GitHub organization that serves as the enterprise-level representation for the o9 GitHub Enterprise.

o9-ent is an organizational structure that maps the organizations within the o9 GitHub Enterprise as repositories within this GitHub organization. It operates one level below the global scope (o9-glo), providing a focused view of the o9 enterprise structure.

We use the microcosm mapping pattern adapted to the enterprise level:

• The o9 Enterprise → This GitHub Organization (o9-ent)
• Organizations (within o9 enterprise) → Repositories (in o9-ent)
• Repositories (within those orgs) → Folders (in those repositories)

o9-glo (global scope)
└── o9 enterprise (repository in o9-glo)
    └── o9-ent organization (folder in o9 repo)
        └── org-repo (this maps to repositories in o9-ent)
            └── repo-folders/ (folders representing individual repos)

o9-ent/e9-o9 (repository representing e9-o9 organization)
├── repo1/ (folder = repository)
│   └── metadata.md
├── repo2/ (folder = repository)
│   └── metadata.md
└── README.md (organization overview)

o9-ent fits into a three-level hierarchy:

1. o9-glo (Global Scope) - Maps enterprises to repositories

   • Enterprises → Repositories
   • Organizations → Folders
   • Repositories → Files

2. o9-ent (Enterprise Level) - Maps o9 organizations to repositories

   • o9 Enterprise → This Organization
   • Organizations → Repositories
   • Repositories → Folders

3. Individual Organization Repositories - Contains folders for each repository

o9-ent maps the organizations within the o9 GitHub Enterprise, including:

• e9-o9: Core o9 engineering organization
• o9-glo: Global scope organization (which also contains o9-ent in its mapping)
• o9nn: Neural network and AI organization
• And other o9 enterprise organizations

Each organization is represented as a repository within o9-ent, containing folders for the organization's individual repositories.

This repository (o9-ent/.github) is a special GitHub repository that:

• Defines the public organization profile
• Provides documentation about the o9-ent structure
• Serves as the entry point for understanding our enterprise-level mapping

This structure provides several benefits:

1. Enterprise Focus: Dedicated view of the o9 enterprise without global scope clutter
2. Navigability: Easily browse o9 organizations and their repositories
3. Documentation: Each level (organization, repository) is documented with metadata
4. Scalability: New organizations and repositories can be added seamlessly
5. Hierarchical Clarity: Clear positioning within the global microcosm structure

o9-ent is one level lower than o9-glo:

• o9-glo operates at the global scope, mapping multiple enterprises
• o9-ent operates at the enterprise level, mapping organizations within the o9 enterprise

The relationship between them:

• In o9-glo: o9-ent appears as a folder within the o9 enterprise repository
• In o9-ent: o9-glo appears as a repository (because o9-glo is one of the organizations in the o9 enterprise)

This bi-directional reference enables navigation in both directions: you can explore from the global view down to the enterprise level, or start at the enterprise level and see where it fits in the global scope.

To explore the o9 enterprise microcosm:

1. Browse the repositories in this organization — each represents an o9 organization
2. Within each repository, explore the folders — each represents a repository within that organization
3. Review the README files for metadata and documentation about each level
