10.4 Logical Element / PIM to Implementation Artifact / PSM
A Logical Element / PIM traces to an Implementation Artifact / PSM when an implementation profile maps the Platform Independent Model (PIM) to selected technologies.
For example, a logical Communication Endpoint may map to a DDS Topic in a DDS-based implementation profile. A logical Data Structure Definition may map to an IDL structure. A logical Node may map to a Python process packaged as an OCI-compatible container image.
This mapping realizes the logical model for a selected implementation context. It does not redefine the logical element or the conceptual element behind it.
Examples include:
Table 10.4-1: Examples of logical elements traced to implementation artifacts
| Logical Element / PIM | Implementation Artifact / PSM |
|---|---|
| Logical Node | Python process, service process, or containerised executable |
| Logical Communication Endpoint | DDS Topic, API endpoint, message queue, event stream, or file exchange point |
| Logical Data Structure Definition | IDL structure, JSON Schema, XML Schema, SysML block, or generated language type |
| Logical Runtime Plane | DDS topic namespace, DDS partition, topic family, or implementation grouping |
| Logical Evidence class | Test output, captured message, provenance record, audit record, or configured evidence package |
| Logical Traceability relationship | Trace matrix entry, metadata link, configuration reference, model relationship, or generated report |
