 +
 +===== Discussion =====
 +
 +An architectural governance layer identifies the abstraction layer at which lifecycle control, authority retention, structural governance, and semantic governance are defined.
 +
 +The architectural governance layer separates governance obligations from implementation technologies. This separation allows the [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:reference_architecture]] to define authority, lifecycle, versioning, and semantic responsibilities without prescribing a specific platform, product, language, repository, runtime, or deployment environment.
 +
 +An architectural governance layer differs from an implementation governance mechanism. An implementation governance mechanism realizes governance through a selected technology. The architectural governance layer defines the governance meaning, responsibilities, and relationships independently of those implementation mechanisms.

 +
 +===== Note =====
 +
 +An architectural governance layer provides the basis for defining governance responsibilities before those responsibilities are mapped to implementation technologies.
 +
 +===== Example =====
 +
 +A [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:reference_architecture]] defines authority retention, lifecycle control, semantic governance, and structural governance at the architectural governance layer before mapping those responsibilities to a repository, ontology store, message bus, database, workflow engine, or runtime platform.
