Implementation of TRAK Attribute Names and Values

The implementation of TRAK attributes in a tool is controlled by ‘TRAK. Implementation. Architecture Description Elements’ with respect to the case, spelling of attributes and format of values. See References section below.

Relationships

Claim participates in the following relationships:

• Claim about Architecture Description Element
• Organisation makes Claim
• Role makes Claim
• Claim has part Claim
• Claim supports Claim
• Argument supports Claim
• Claim opposes Claim
• Argument opposes Claim
• Evidence proves Claim
• Evidence disproves Claim

Inherited relationships:

+ from Architecture Description Element

• Claim about Claim
• Concern about Claim
• Standard governs Claim
• Contract governs Claim
• Standard governs Claim
• Claim satisfies Contract
• Claim satisfies Requirement
• Claim satisfies Standard
• Claim traces to Argument
• Claim traces to Document
• Claim traces to Requirement

Master Architecture View

Any Claim used within an architecture description of the system-of-interest must appear on a MV-04 Assurance View for the architecture description.

The MV-04 is the Master Architecture View for Claim.

Comments

A Claim is a fundamental part of the Claim - Argument - Evidence (CAE) structure used in describing the structure of an assurance case such as that used for safety assurance (or a safety case as it used to be called in “old money”). TRAK provides the ability to make a claim about any element in any of the TRAK Perspectives (Claim about ...) linking the assurance case to the architecture description. The Argument element allows a feature represented in the architecture description to be used as the basis for part of the supporting / opposing argument.

Other Frameworks

Neither MODAF nor the NATO Architecture Framework are able to represent a Claim within their metamodels.
