====== Interpretation-Controlled Transition ======

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

===== Discussion =====

Interpretation-controlled transitions depend on the semantic interpretation of validated FX transaction information.

The [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:f:fx_semantic_interpretation_node|FX Semantic Interpretation Node]] produces an [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:f:fx_semantic_assertion|FX Semantic Assertion]]. That assertion supports movement from validated transaction information to semantically interpreted transaction information. It provides semantic context for contract state management, cash-flow computation, policy evaluation, audit, provenance, replay, and [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:e:evidence|Evidence]] review.

An interpretation-controlled transition identifies the validated input, [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:f:fx_semantic_assertion|FX Semantic Assertion]], semantic source, semantic version, the producing [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:f:fx_semantic_interpretation_node|FX Semantic Interpretation Node]], timestamp, the resulting lifecycle state, and the provenance reference.

Interpretation-controlled transitions preserve the distinction between structural validity and semantic meaning. A transaction passes validation when it satisfies structure and constraint expectations. It becomes semantically interpreted when the [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:f:fx_semantic_interpretation_node|FX Semantic Interpretation Node]] records governed meaning for the transaction.

===== Definition =====

//FX lifecycle transition governed by an FX Semantic Assertion.//

===== Source =====

Specialization of [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:f:fx_semantic_assertion|FX Semantic Assertion]] from Section 9.5, [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:s:semantic_interpretation_role|Semantic Interpretation Role]] from Section 7.4, [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:s:semantics|Semantics]] from Part 1, Section 9.4, [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:i:interpretation|Interpretation]] from Part 1, Section 9.5, and [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:traceability|Traceability]] from Part 1, Section 7.10; generalised from semantic interpretation material in the original FX Demo Reference Architecture.

===== Note =====

Interpretation-controlled transitions do not prescribe FIBO, SBVR, OWL, RDF, a semantic repository, a rules engine, a database lookup, or a model execution mechanism.

===== Example =====

A validated FX Transaction Record moves to **Semantically Interpreted** when the [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:f:fx_semantic_interpretation_node|FX Semantic Interpretation Node]] produces an [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:f:fx_semantic_assertion|FX Semantic Assertion]] identifying the transaction's governed FX meaning.
