11.6 Implementation Mappings Do Not Redefine Concepts

Go to Top

Implementation mappings realize conceptual and logical elements for a specific technology stack. They do not redefine the concepts they realize.

For example, a Phase 0 implementation profile may map:

Communication Endpoint → DDS Topic
Data Structure Definition → IDL structure
Node → Python process packaged as an OCI-compatible container image
Runtime Plane → DDS topic namespace or partition

Those mappings support implementation. They do not change the conceptual meaning of Communication Endpoint, Data Structure Definition, Node, or Runtime Plane.
