| The [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:f:fdis-ra|Federated Data Interpretation Systems Reference Architecture (FDIS-RA)]] is governance-centric. It treats [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:s:semantic|semantic]] interpretation, validation logic, interpretive context, and related lifecycle artefacts as governed architectural assets rather than as implicit behaviour embedded within software tools, processing pipelines, configuration, or analytical code. | The [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:f:fdis-ra|Federated Data Interpretation Systems Reference Architecture (FDIS-RA)]] is governance-centric.

| By placing governance at the centre of the architecture, FDIS-RA prevents interpretive behaviour from being determined indirectly by tool choice, implementation detail, vendor configuration, or operational convenience. | By placing governance at the centre of the architecture, FDIS-RA prevents interpretive behavior from being determined indirectly by tool choice, implementation detail, vendor configuration, or operational convenience. |

| This principle also separates interpretive authority from implementation authority. A system component may execute an interpretation, but the authority for the applicable definitions, rules, versions, and contextual conditions resides in governed architectural artefacts and the bodies responsible for them. | This principle also separates interpretive authority from implementation authority.
