13.4 Core Conceptual Element Requirements

Go to Conceptual Requirements

This section identifies the normative requirements for core conceptual elements established by Part 1. The canonical requirement statements are maintained in Annex C: Requirements, Part 1.

Table 13.4-1: Part 1 core conceptual element requirements.

Requirement ID	Statement
P1-REQ-13-4-001	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.
P1-REQ-13-4-002	The Conceptual Architecture SHALL distinguish a Node as an architectural participant in a distributed Financial System.
P1-REQ-13-4-003	A Node Identity SHALL uniquely distinguish a Node within a defined architectural context.
P1-REQ-13-4-004	A Node Role SHALL identify a responsibility performed by a Node.
P1-REQ-13-4-005	A Runtime Plane SHALL classify runtime communication and behavior by architectural purpose.
P1-REQ-13-4-006	A Communication Endpoint SHALL identify a point of information exchange used by one or more Nodes.
P1-REQ-13-4-007	A Data Structure Definition SHALL describe the Structure, meaning, and constraints of a class of information.
P1-REQ-13-4-008	A Data Structure Instance SHALL identify a populated occurrence of a Data Structure Definition.
P1-REQ-13-4-009	Evidence SHALL identify recorded information supporting a claim.
P1-REQ-13-4-010	Traceability SHALL identify a relationship connecting one architectural, logical, implementation, deployment, or Evidence element to another.
P1-REQ-13-4-011	The Conceptual Architecture SHALL distinguish among a Node, a Node Role, a Node Identity, a Communication Endpoint, a Data Structure Definition, a Data Structure Instance, a Runtime Plane, an implementation artifact, and a deployment artifact.
P1-REQ-13-4-012	The Conceptual Architecture SHALL distinguish a Data Structure Definition from a Data Structure Instance.
P1-REQ-13-4-013	The Conceptual Architecture SHALL distinguish a Communication Endpoint from the information exchanged through that endpoint.
