====== 3.2 Alignment with FDIS-RA ======
[[fxdemo:01-part:start | Go to Top ]]

FDIS-RA provides financial-domain architectural precedent for systems that [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:i:interpretation|Interpret]], validate, compare, and govern regulated [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:d:data|Data]]. The Financial Systems Archetype aligns with FDIS-RA by treating meaning, [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:i:interpretation|Interpretation]], validation, provenance, comparability, and [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:e:evidence|Evidence]] as architectural concerns rather than implementation by-products.

FDIS-RA does not replace SIP-RA as the parent [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:reference_architecture|Reference Architecture (RA)]]. Instead, FDIS-RA informs the financial-domain interpretation concerns that the Financial Systems Archetype must preserve.

Part 1 uses FDIS-RA as an alignment source for the following conceptual concerns.

Table 3-2: FDIS-RA concerns aligned with the Conceptual Architecture

^ FDIS-RA concern ^ Part 1 treatment ^
| Semantic [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:i:interpretation|Interpretation]] as an architectural concern | Defines [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:s:semantic|Semantics]], [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:i:interpretation|Interpretation]], and governance of meaning as conceptual concerns. |
| Separation of [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:e:evidence|Evidence]], observation, [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:i:interpretation|Interpretation]], validation, and analytical consumption | Defines separation of concerns and [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:runtime_plane|Runtime Plane]] concepts. |
| [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:traceability_and_evidence|Traceability and Evidence]] | Defines [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:traceability|Traceability]] and [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:e:evidence|Evidence]] as core conceptual elements. |
| Auditability and defensibility | Treats [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:e:evidence|Evidence]] as an architectural concern rather than a test by-product. |
| Comparability across systems and time | Preserves conceptual meaning independently from implementation technology. |
| Technology neutrality | Avoids binding conceptual architecture to specific products, tools, languages, middleware, or deployment platforms. |
| Long-term governance of meaning | Defines governance of meaning as a conceptual architecture principle. |
