+*Abstract*
+
+The SSP Layered Standard Traceability is a layered standard provided by MAP SSP upon SSP 2.0 to support traceability of simulation tasks.
+The standard is comprised of a set of XML-based formats to interchange process-relevant resources and information in the sense of process metadata for Credible Decision Processes and Credible Simulation Processes, as well as abritrary further metadata as part of SSP packages used to exchange the structural and parametrization aspects of a system.

 In order to make design decisions based on credible simulation results, it is essential that underlying simulation tasks are planned, executed and documented in a transparent and comprehensible manner and that there is a high degree of confidence in the correctness and validity of simulation results.
 This is essential not only to make reliable design decisions (__quality assurance__), but also to be able to understand design decisions retrospectively (__traceability__).
 
-Improving traceability of decisions and simulations is the core objective of the SSP Traceability specification, based on consistent and compatible documentation of decision processes and simulation process that produces the decision-relevant simulation results.
-Other goals of the SSP Traceability specification are to provide the ability to re-run a simulation later and to provide the ability to re-use parts of the simulation setup for similar simulations (__reusability__).

+As the traceability of decision and simulation processes improve by applying the SSP Layered Standard Traceability, it is expected that the reliability and credibility of simulation results will increase.
 This is expected not only when decisions and simulations are performed within a company, but also when the Credible Simulation Process Framework is spread across companies and when simulation results are requested, exchanged and shared across companies.
 Since the commissioning, preparation and execution of a simulation in that case are usually carried out by different persons or departments, sometimes even by different companies, a common understanding of the simulation task and the objectives of the simulation is essential for the quality and credibility of simulation results.
 Traceable documentation of simulation requests and simulation deliveries is therefore just as important as traceable documentation of the decision processes and simulation processes themselves.
 
 === Applying SSP Traceability
 
-The SSP Traceability Specification defines and describes a concept for assuring traceability for the processes of the Credible Simulation Process Framework.
-The specification proposes to document Credible Decision Processes and Credible Simulation Processes by binding __(gluing)__ together all process-relevant resources and information in the sense of process metadata by means of appropriate SSP Traceability files for Credible Decision Processes and Credible Simulation Processes.
-The essential core of the SSP Traceability Specification document is the documentation of the appropriate set of SSP Traceability file data formats.

 The reason for this is firstly that the Modelica Association uses XML as a general encoding format for the representation of standards specific data and secondly that SSP Traceability uses System Structure and Parameterization (SSP) Standard 2.0 resources and concepts that are also encoded in XML.
 Independently of this, SSP Traceability files in general and GlueParticle files in particular could use any other applicable data encoding format, e.g. JSON etc.
