 +====== Architectural Element ======
  
 +[[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:start|Go up to Terms and Definitions]]
 +
 +===== Discussion =====
 +
 +An architectural element identifies a defined construct within the [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:reference_architecture]].
 +
 +An architectural element has assigned responsibilities and relationships. These responsibilities and relationships support architectural analysis, [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:traceability]], [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:conformance_model|conformance evaluation]], and implementation mapping.
 +
 +An architectural element differs from an implementation component. The [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:reference_architecture]] defines the element's architectural meaning and role independently of any selected technology, product, language, or deployment platform.
 +
 +===== Definition =====
 +
 +//defined construct within the [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:reference_architecture]] having specified responsibilities and relationships//

 +
 +Structured Information Processing [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:reference_architecture]]
 +
 +===== Note =====
 +
 +An architectural element provides a stable unit for architectural description, [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:traceability]], and [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:conformance_model|conformance analysis]].
 +
 +===== Example =====
 +
 +A [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:control_plane]], [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:d:data_plane]], [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:a:attachment_point]], [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:conformance_point]], or [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:a:architectural_governance_layer|architectural governance layer]] is an architectural element to which the [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:reference_architecture]] assigns responsibilities and relationships.
