Class Hierarchy
  • governed by code
Definition

Relates a professional role to an ethical code that states the obligations and norms of the role in codified form. The code is a convention among professionals that binds whoever claims the professional standing, independent of licensure (Davis 1991); it does not exhaust role morality, since the norms of the profession remain answerable to the proper ends of the profession (Oakley and Cocking 2001, p. 75). Domain is :ProfessionalRole rather than the universal core:Role, because code-governance is a professional-side relation; the ProfessionalRole restriction (governedByCode some EthicalCode) carries the existence commitment.
