Return to Part 1 Requirements

Statement

A Logical Architecture / PIM element SHALL trace to the conceptual element it specialises, refines, constrains, or relates.

Source

Part 1, Section 13.7: Traceability Requirements.

Rationale

Logical Architecture and PIM elements refine conceptual architecture without redefining conceptual meaning. Traceability to the related conceptual element preserves the relationship between conceptual intent and logical structure.

This requirement supports review of logical models against the Conceptual Architecture and prevents logical elements from becoming unanchored design material.

Applies To

This requirement applies to Logical Architecture and PIM elements that specialise, refine, constrain, or relate to conceptual elements.

It applies specifically to:

Logical Architecture elementsPIM elementsConceptual-to-logical trace linksLogical refinementLogical constraints

Verification

Verification SHALL confirm that each Logical Architecture / PIM element traces to the conceptual element it specialises, refines, constrains, or relates.

Verification activities include review checks confirming that:

Logical elements identify their related conceptual elementsPIM elements identify their related conceptual elementsLogical refinement does not redefine conceptual meaningTrace links support review from the conceptual element to the logical element
