Overview
This specification defines the architecture, components, and relationships that comprise the EchoRTX system.
EchoRTX is the structured observation system defined for observing and communicating Digital Position.
Purpose
The purpose of this specification is to establish the architectural structure of the EchoRTX system.
This specification defines the relationships between the components that comprise EchoRTX.
System Architecture
The EchoRTX system consists of the following primary components:
- EchoRTX
- EchoLens
- Digital Positioning Layer (DPL)
- Echo Reports
Each component serves a distinct architectural function within the EchoRTX system.
System Components
EchoRTX
EchoRTX defines the architecture, observation model, and primary components of the EchoRTX system.
EchoLens
EchoLens provides the observational perspective through which the Digital Positioning Layer (DPL) is observed.
Digital Positioning Layer (DPL)
The Digital Positioning Layer (DPL) provides the conceptual layer within which Digital Position is observed.
Echo Reports
Echo Reports communicate observations regarding an entity’s Digital Position.
System Relationships
Within EchoRTX:
- EchoLens provides the observational perspective.
- The Digital Positioning Layer (DPL) provides the conceptual layer.
- Digital Position is observed within the DPL.
- Echo Reports communicate observations regarding Digital Position.
Together, these components comprise the EchoRTX system.
System Boundaries
EchoRTX is observational in nature.
EchoRTX does not:
- Optimize
- Rank
- Recommend
- Govern
- Certify
- Measure performance
Documentation Hierarchy
The EchoRTX documentation hierarchy consists of:
- EchoRTX
- Overview
- Digital Positioning Layer (DPL)
- EchoLens
- Echo Reports
- Terminology
- EchoRTX Specification
- Echo Report Specification
Together, these documents define the EchoRTX system.
