/02 About

Model provider/consumer information contracts, canonical semantics, versioned interfaces, acknowledgement, reliable exchange and failure recovery.

Purpose: describe implementation-neutral information exchange between business services and logical application boundaries. The model distinguishes source/consumer responsibilities, interaction interfaces, canonical business meaning, stewarded domains, attributed payloads, processing acknowledgement, and failure isolation. Logical contract: exchange owners specify supported versions, authorization, classifications, correlated requests, schema compatibility, valid information use, acknowledgement semantics, ordering, retries and idempotency. Network transport success never substitutes for business acceptance. Invalid data requires quarantine or reconciliation instead of silent loss. Limitations: the reference is not an executable API schema, deployed messaging infrastructure, guaranteed delivery algorithm, regulatory finding or vendor integration specification. Actual payload types, transport mechanisms, timeouts, schema migrations, version compatibility, recovery invariants and test cases require adopting-organization specialization.
