Summary
The TRAK SVp-01 Solution Structure architecture viewpoint defines the requirements for the TRAK SV-01 Solution Structure architecture view. This involves allowed content and minimum acceptable content ('well-formedness' criteria). The TRAK00001. TRAK. Architecture Framework. Viewpoints specification also defines consistency rules that apply to a set of architecture views (an Architecture Description).
The TRAK SVp-01 Solution Structure architecture viewpoint content is summarised under the following sections:
- stakeholder concerns
- description
- allowed content
- well-formedness criteria
- presentation methods
- examples
- comments
The TRAK Architecture Viewpoints specification provides are complete definition not only of the SVp-01 Solution Structure architecture viewpoint but considerations for the architecture description formed from a set of architecture views.

Stakeholder Concerns
Stakeholder Concerns Addressed by the SVp-01 Solution Structure Architecture Viewpoint
The TRAK SVp-01 Solution Structure architecture viewpoint addresses the following concerns:
- How does responsibility (scope/jurisdiction) apply to the solution components?
- How does the solution realise the concept or enterprise?
- Is the solution structured sensibly?
- What does the solution consist of?
- What is the organisation structure / membership?
Description
Describes solution structure in terms of parts, governance, membership, dependency and responsibility extent.
Allowed Content
TRAK architecture view content is defined in terms of triples - Node - connector - Node e.g. 'Organisation governs Organisation' that form short statements about the thing(s) being described.
'Organisation governs Organisation' is a Statement or Assertion in a SV-01 Architecture View
The rationale for this is explained separately.
Subject Statements (Triples)
These are statements (triples) that describe the subject of the SV-01 Solution Structure architecture view. Specifically these statements address the concerns for this SVp-01 Solution Structure architecture viewpoint. These form the basis for the well-formedness section of the SVp-01 Solution Structure architecture viewpoint.
There are 42 possible subject statements in total which include 10 metamodel elements ( Capability , Enterprise , Job , Node , Organisation , Physical , Role , Software , System and Zone ).
The subject statements are split into 4 groups:

Optional Statements (Triples)
These optional statements (triples) for the SV-01 Solution Structure architecture view provide useful context with respect to a subject or universally allowed statements involving the subject or object (start or finish) elements in the Subject Statements (triples).
Universal statements may be added to any TRAK architecture view and describe typical concepts such as compliance or traceability:
- ... traces to Argument, Contract, Requirement, Document or Standard
- ... satisfies Contract, Requirement, Document or Standard
- Concern or Claim about ...
- Contract, Requirement, Document or Standard governs ...
'Requirement governs Organisation' - an optional statement or assertion for the SV-01 Architecture View
These statements address the concerns of their respective architecture viewpoint and will have been created first on these other architecture views.
There are 131 possible statements which may be used to augment the SV-01 Solution Structure architecture view, split into 6 groups:
- Governance
- Universal - Applicable Requirements
- Universal - Assurance
- Universal - Concern Identified
- Universal - Requirement Compliance
- Universal - Traceability or Reference

Well-Formedness Criteria
Well-formedness criteria define the minimum acceptable view content based on the subject statements (triples). These criteria are not yet represented within the model of TRAK. Please refer to the SVp-01 Solution Structure definition within the TRAK00001. TRAK. Architecture Framework. Viewpoints specification.
Presentation Methods
The SV-01 Solution Structure architecture view may use any of following means to the statements (triples):
- Block diagram (Resource = block, TRAK metamodel relationship = line with text label and direction indicator).
Note that a textual presentation is acceptable for any TRAK architecture view.
Examples
Governance Form Describing an Organisation
Two Different Roles Applying to a System
MDG for TRAK UML Plugin for Sparx EA
SV-01 Solution Structure for a Lift
This SysML implementation describes the set of system elements forming a lift system. Note that this also includes Passenger and Lift Maintainer - whilst these roles may not be developed elements they are a necessary component part without which the system cannot fully operate.
Produced using (Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect UML modelling tool in conjunction with the MDG for TRAK plugin (https://sf.net/p/mdgfortrak.)
Comments
The SV-01 Solution Structure architecture view is the master source (origin) on which you first create the following elements or statements:
The SV-01 provides 3 areas of coverage:
1. Describing organisational structure - governance, membership and roles as well as organisational breakdown.
2. Describing the extent or jurisdiction of roles.
3. Describing classic system or product breakdown structure.
If you need to show the effect of time on responsibility extent use the PrV-03 Procurement Responsibility View.
Software is hosted on Physical is an implicit statement of containment. To make an explicit statement it is acceptable to also state that Physical contains Software.
'contains' and 'has part' are transitive relationships / assertions i.e 'Physical contains System' means that any element of the System is also contained by the Physical.
