====== FX Logical Ownership of Definitions ======

[[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:start|Return to Terms and Definitions]]

===== Discussion =====

FX Logical Ownership of Definitions identifies responsibility for defining, maintaining, approving, and reviewing FX logical definitions.

FX logical definitions include FX logical [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:l:logical_node|Nodes]], FX logical [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:l:logical_node_role|Node Roles]], FX logical [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:l:logical_communication_endpoint|Communication Endpoints]], FX logical information structures, FX [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:runtime_plane|Runtime Plane]] classifications, FX lifecycle states, FX interaction patterns, FX policy constraints, and FX [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:traceability|Traceability]] relationships.

FX logical ownership supports accountability. It identifies the logical authority or role responsible for a definition, the review basis for changes, and the relationship between inherited Part 2 definitions and FX-specific specialisations.

===== Source =====

Specialization of [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:l:logical_ownership_of_definitions|Logical Ownership of Definitions]] from Part 2, Section 11.2, and [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:g:governance_and_authority|Governance and Authority]] from Part 1, Section 9.6; generalised from governance, schema governance, semantic governance, topic governance, and node-role governance material in the original FX Demo Reference Architecture.

===== Note =====

FX Logical Ownership of Definitions applies to logical definitions and relationships. It does not replace operational ownership, implementation responsibility, repository ownership, or deployment responsibility.

===== Example =====

An FX logical information-definition authority owns the [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:f:fx_cash-flow_obligation|FX Cash-Flow Obligation]] definition and governs changes to its fields, constraints, versioning expectations, and [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:traceability|Traceability]] requirements.
