+===== Discussion =====
+A Conformance Model defines the structure used to determine whether an identified subject satisfies applicable
+[[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:requirement|Requirements]]
+and therefore achieves
+[[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:conformance|Conformance]].
+A Conformance Model identifies the subject of evaluation, the applicable Requirements, [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:conformance_criterion|Conformance Criteria]], [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:conformance_point|Conformance Points]], [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:e:evidence|Evidence]] expectations, and [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:traceability|Traceability]] relationships used to support a conformance determination.
+The Conformance Model separates the definition of Conformance from the particular tools, test procedures, products, deployment environments, or implementation technologies used to perform an evaluation.
+A Conformance Model differs from a test suite. A test suite contains executable or procedural tests. A Conformance Model establishes what Conformance means, which Requirements apply, where an evaluator inspects Conformance, and which Evidence supports the determination.
+===== Definition =====
+//defined structure specifying the subjects, requirements, criteria, conformance points, and evidence used to determine conformance//
+===== Source =====
+  * [[dido:03-dido-te:99-annexes:annex-b-references:dte-006|[DTE6]]], Section 6.4.6, //Implementation Conformance Model//
+===== Note =====
+A Conformance Model supports consistent evaluation across different implementation technologies, deployment environments, and tooling choices.
+A Conformance Model does not itself constitute a conformance determination. Evaluation of an identified subject against the applicable Conformance Criteria produces the information used to determine Conformance.
+===== Example =====
+A DIDO-TE Conformance Model identifies the applicable Requirements, Conformance Criteria, Conformance Points, expected Evidence, and evaluation relationships used to determine whether a DIDO-TE implementation conforms to the applicable requirement set.
