====== 3.4 Traceability Position ======
[[fxdemo:01-part:start | Go to Top ]]

The Financial Systems Archetype uses the following [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:traceability|Traceability]] position.

SIP-RA provides the parent with a structured information processing discipline. FDIS-RA provides financial-domain [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:i:interpretation|Interpretation]] alignment. The original FX Demo [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:reference_architecture|Reference Architecture]] provides source material that the new document set normalizes across the proper architectural layers.

This [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:traceability|Traceability]] position prevents three kinds of confusion.

First, it prevents FDIS-RA from replacing SIP-RA as the parent [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:reference_architecture|Reference Architecture]]. Second, it prevents the original FX Demo [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:reference_architecture|Reference Architecture]] from remaining a mixed-layer controlling document. Third, it prevents implementation details from moving upward into the conceptual architecture.

Part 1, therefore, defines only the conceptual architecture. Later parts carry forward logical, domain-profile, implementation, deployment, testability, and [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:e:evidence|Evidence]] concerns while preserving [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:traceability|Traceability]] back to this conceptual foundation.
