These specifications are designed to systematically answer questions about TROs and the TRACE Systems that generate them.

This section includes the following:

• Transparency Questions: Questions that the TRACE specifications are intended to help answer.

• Elements: TRACE elements

• Conceptual Model: TRACE conceptual model

• System Certificate Specification: Technical specification for TRACE System certificates. Provide authoritative information about the system in which computations were executed.

• Transparent Research Object Specification (TRO): Technical specification for TROs. An extension and clarification of the Research Object contept.
