Return to Part 1 Requirements

Statement

The Conceptual Architecture SHALL distinguish a Communication Endpoint from the information exchanged through that endpoint.

Source

Part 1, Section 13.4: Core Conceptual Element Requirements.

Rationale

A Communication Endpoint identifies a point of information exchange. The information exchanged through that endpoint represents the content, payload, message, data structure instance, or governed information flow associated with the exchange.

Distinguishing the endpoint from the exchanged information prevents communication structure from becoming confused with information meaning or content.

Applies To

This requirement applies to Communication Endpoint references and information exchange descriptions within the Conceptual Architecture.

It applies specifically to:

Communication EndpointsExchanged informationInformation flowsData Structure InstancesEndpoint-to-information relationships

Verification

Verification SHALL confirm that the Conceptual Architecture distinguishes Communication Endpoints from the information exchanged through those endpoints.

Verification activities include review checks confirming that:

Communication Endpoints identify exchange pointsExchanged information identifies content or payloadEndpoint descriptions do not replace information descriptionsInformation descriptions do not replace endpoint descriptions
