====== 1.4.2 Out of Scope ======

[[dido:01-fdis-ra:01-introduction:01-4-scope:start|Return to 1.4 Scope]]

The exclusions defined in this section are deliberate. They preserve the role of the Federated Data Interpretation Systems Reference Architecture (FDIS-RA) as a technology-neutral, implementation-independent architectural framework focused on responsibilities for interpreting, validating, and comparing reported data in regulated reporting contexts, including financial data.

This focus allows the [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:reference_architecture|Reference Architecture]] to apply across organizational, jurisdictional, and regulatory boundaries without binding conforming architectures or implementations to particular technical ecosystems, products, platforms, or deployment models.

To preserve its platform-independent scope, FDIS-RA does not define specific technologies, products, operational procedures, deployment architectures, or implementation strategies. It does not prescribe software architectures, infrastructure configurations, security mechanisms, performance targets, or procurement models.

FDIS-RA does not mandate modeling formalisms, [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:o:ontology|ontology]] languages, rule engines, databases, artificial intelligence platforms, integration technologies, transport mechanisms, or vendor tooling environments.

These exclusions do not prevent an implementation, profile, acquisition programme, or downstream [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:p:platform_specific_model|Platform-Specific Model (PSM)]] from selecting such technologies. They establish that those selections do not form part of the platform-independent architectural specification and do not, by themselves, demonstrate conformance with FDIS-RA.

The following topics fall outside the scope of this Reference Architecture.
