 +
 +===== Discussion =====
 +
 +An attachment point identifies a defined boundary location through which [[fxdemo:dido_99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:s:structured_information_artifact|structured information]] enters or exits an [[fxdemo:dido_99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:a:architectural_element|architectural element]].
 +
 +Attachment points support architectural traceability by identifying where information exchange, validation, interpretation, transformation, release, or receipt occurs.
 +
 +An attachment point differs from an implementation interface. An implementation interface realizes an attachment point through a selected technology. The attachment point defines the architectural boundary and responsibility independently of the implementation mechanism.
 +
 +===== Definition =====

 +//defined boundary location through which structured information enters or exits an [[fxdemo:dido_99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:a:architectural_element|architectural element]]//

 +Structured Information Processing [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:reference_architecture]]
 +
 +===== Note =====
 +
 +An attachment point provides a stable architectural location for analyzing information flow, interface responsibility, and implementation mapping.
 +
 +===== Example =====
 +
 +A [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:d:data_plane]] service has an attachment point where a [[fxdemo:dido_99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:s:structured_information_artifact|structured information artifact]] enters the service for validation and another attachment point where the validated artifact exits the service for downstream processing.
