1.4.1 In Scope

Return to 1.4 Scope

This Reference Architecture defines architectural responsibilities for interpreting, governing, and supporting the controlled evolution of meaning in regulated data environments. It addresses semantic representation, interpretation logic, validation, provenance, and comparability across systems and reporting periods.

The Reference Architecture addresses these concerns at the architectural level. It defines responsibilities, boundaries, interactions, governance mechanisms, and lifecycle controls without prescribing the technologies, products, or implementation mechanisms used to realize them.

The Reference Architecture excludes standards that concern only networking, transport, operating systems, or infrastructure, except where such standards support or convey information associated with an in-scope architectural responsibility.
