AThe definition of appropriate concepts ensures the conceptual integrity of the architecture.

BConcepts are a means to increase consistency.

CFor each quality goal there should be an explicitly documented concept.

DUniform exception handling is most easily achieved when architects agree with developers upon a suitable concept prior to implementation.

EA concept might be implemented by a single building block.

FUniform usage of concepts reduces coupling between building blocks.

GA concept can define constraints for the implementation of many building blocks.
