3. Relationship to SDIS/SIP-RA {#3.-relationship-to-sdis/sip-ra}

SDIS/SIP-RA provides the high-level reference architecture discipline for structured information processing systems. It applies across domains where organisations, regulators, and system operators must interpret, transform, govern, review, and evidence structured data.

The Financial Systems Archetype does not replace SDIS/SIP-RA. It specialises SDIS/SIP-RA for the financial domain.

Figure 3-1 illustrates the relationship.

Figure 3-1: Relationship between SDIS/SIP-RA and the Financial Systems Archetype document set

SDIS/SIP-RA remains the parent discipline. The Financial Systems Archetype applies that discipline to the Finance ecosphere and its ecosystems, domains, profiles, and implementations.
