14.6 Implementation Mapping Boundaries

Go To Top

Implementation mappings connect logical elements to implementation artifacts. They do not change the logical elements that they realize.

An Implementation Profile / PSM identifies:

The logical element that the implementation artifact realizesThe selected implementation artifactThe mapping rationaleThe communication, data representation, execution, or packaging mechanism involvedCompatibility expectationsGovernance constraintsThe Traceability relationship to the logical modelEvidence expectations that later deployment and testability plans satisfyImplementation mappings remain bounded by the Logical Architecture / PIM. A technology selection does not create a new Logical Node, Logical Communication Endpoint, Logical Runtime Plane, or Logical Data Structure Definition unless the implementation profile explicitly identifies a required logical change and traces that change back to the appropriate logical and conceptual source.
