Return to Part 1 Requirements

Statement

The Conceptual Architecture SHALL define Node, Node Identity, Node Role, Runtime Plane, Communication Endpoint, Data Structure Definition, Data Structure Instance, Evidence, and Traceability as core conceptual elements.

Source

Part 1, Section 13.4: Core Conceptual Element Requirements.

Rationale

The Conceptual Architecture requires a defined set of core conceptual elements to establish a stable vocabulary for the Financial Systems Archetype. These elements provide the basis for describing distributed participants, identities, responsibilities, runtime purposes, information exchange, information structures, evidence, and traceability.

Defining these elements at the conceptual level supports consistent interpretation across logical models, implementation profiles, deployment profiles, and verification material.

Applies To

This requirement applies to the definition, interpretation, review, and maintenance of core conceptual elements within the Conceptual Architecture.

It applies specifically to:

NodeNode IdentityNode RoleRuntime PlaneCommunication EndpointData Structure DefinitionData Structure InstanceEvidenceTraceability

Verification

Verification SHALL confirm that the Conceptual Architecture defines the required core conceptual elements.

Verification activities include review checks confirming that:

Each core conceptual element has a clear definitionEach definition supports conceptual interpretationCore conceptual elements remain distinct from implementation and deployment artefactsLater parts reference the core conceptual elements without redefining them

Traceability
