IEFRA2 — Lack of reference to RA.

"4.3.1 Lack of reference to RA.
The section should emphasize the Reference Architecture (RA) aspects of IEF more explicitly. Right now, the description focuses on what IEF does, but it does not strongly articulate how it functions as an RA.
● IEF is framed as an evolving set of specifications, but it does not highlight its role as a blueprint
for implementation, which is a core function of a Reference Architecture.
● RA principles such as modularity, standardization, and reuse are implied but not directly stated.
● The definition of an RA (from the OMG Reference Architecture link) emphasizes that an RA provides a common language, best practices, and a high-level structure for building solutions—this is not fully spelled out in the current text.

Sentence: ""The IEF defines a framework for delivering Defense-in-depth solutions that address a wide range of information-sharing and safeguarding requirements. The IEF is an evolving set of specifications describing the requirements for:""
Suggest: ""The IEF defines a Reference Architecture (RA) for delivering Defense-in-Depth solutions that address a wide range of information-sharing and safeguarding requirements. As a Reference Architecture, IEF provides a structured framework that organizations can adopt to develop interoperable, policy-driven information-sharing systems. Rather than prescribing a single implementation, IEF-RA defines modular components (e.g., PDP, PEP, PAP) and a standardized integration layer that enables secure information exchange across diverse environments. These specifications allow users, vendors, and integrators to align with common best practices, open standards, and policy-based controls, ensuring that ISS policies govern data access, usage, and dissemination at the data level rather than solely at the network, platform, or application level."""
