Requirement

Title

Use of the AIRM’s unique identifiers in traces

Identifier

SWIM-INFO-019

Requirement

A trace shall use the unique identifier provided by the AIRM concept at its end-point.

Rationale

This requirement determines the path of the end-point regardless of the format in which the AIRM is represented.

Verification

Correctness

Examples/Notes

Note: The unique identified is provided by the “URN” field attached to each concept in the AIRM.

Level of Implementation

Mandatory

Guidance

The end-point marks the target of the trace. In all cases this is the AIRM. An information definition always maps to the AIRM. The end-point must obviously be ‘resolvable’ and this is done by enforcing the use of a unique identifier.

The AIRM makes use of the URN format. This is in line with the specification's requirement on identifiers.

Verification Support

Correctness

Check that:

[  ] Each trace in the information definition uses the unique identifier provided by the AIRM concept at its end-point.

Examples

The example below shows how the AIRM's unique identifier is embedded into a trace in XML Schema format.
