Return to Part 1 Requirements

Statement

A later profile that inherits a Classification Path SHALL preserve the meaning of the inherited Ecosphere, Ecosystem, and Domain.

Source

Part 1, Section 13.3: Classification Requirements.

Rationale

Later profiles refine or specialise the Conceptual Architecture. When a later profile inherits a Classification Path, it also inherits the conceptual meaning of the Ecosphere, Ecosystem, and Domain within that path.

Preserving inherited meaning supports controlled profile inheritance, prevents semantic drift, and maintains traceability across the document set.

Applies To

This requirement applies to later profiles that inherit a Classification Path from the Conceptual Architecture.

It applies specifically to:

Profile inheritanceClassification reuseEcosphere meaningEcosystem meaningDomain meaningCross-profile traceability

Verification

Verification SHALL confirm that later profiles preserve the meaning of inherited Classification Paths and their classification levels.

Verification activities include review checks confirming that:

Later profiles identify inherited Classification PathsLater profiles preserve inherited Ecosphere meaningLater profiles preserve inherited Ecosystem meaningLater profiles preserve inherited Domain meaningLater profiles do not redefine inherited classification levels
