5.7 Classification and Governance

Go to Top

The classification model supports Governance and Authority by identifying the business and Semantic scope to which architectural decisions apply.

A requirement, Logical Model (LM), implementation profile, deployment profile, or Evidence claim can identify the Classification Path it addresses when scope matters. Identifying the applicable Classification Path helps reviewers distinguish between:

• A general Financial System rule
• A rule that applies to one Ecosystem
• A rule that applies to one Domain
• A rule that applies only to one implementation profile
• A rule that applies only to one deployment or Evidence package

The classification model, therefore, helps prevent local implementation decisions from appearing broader than they are.
