Return to Part 1 Requirements

Statement

An Implementation Profile / PSM SHALL preserve the conceptual definitions inherited from this part.

Source

Part 1, Section 13.10: Profile and Layering Requirements.

Rationale

An Implementation Profile / PSM maps logical and conceptual meaning to selected technologies, platforms, tools, languages, middleware, and implementation artefacts. It inherits conceptual definitions from Part 1 and realises them through implementation-specific choices.

This requirement prevents implementation-specific mechanisms from changing inherited conceptual meaning. It preserves the separation between conceptual architecture and platform-specific realisation.

Applies To

This requirement applies to Implementation Profiles and PSM artefacts that inherit conceptual definitions from Part 1.

It applies specifically to:

Implementation Profile contentPSM contentImplementation mappingsPlatform-specific artefactsInherited conceptual definitions

Verification

Verification SHALL confirm that each Implementation Profile / PSM preserves the conceptual definitions inherited from Part 1.

Verification activities include review checks confirming that:

Implementation artefacts trace to logical or conceptual elementsImplementation mappings preserve inherited conceptual meaningPlatform-specific mechanisms do not redefine conceptual elementsImplementation-specific terms remain distinct from conceptual terms
