Background - VOLTA:
As envisioned by Intercax, the Digital Thread is composed of inter-model connections between models in different repositories, which Syndeia creates and manages, and intra-model connections between elements in the same repository, which the individual tool creates and manages. As of Syndeia release 3.4, the Syndeia Web Dashboard can extract and display some model information from the VOLTA repository. Figure 1 shows a view of this information in the Syndeia dashboard Repository Manager with labels identifying the VOLTA element types. Note the different icons. The label color coding indicates how the VOLTA element type is mapped to the Syndeia Cloud element types: Repository (green), Container (red), and Artifact (blue).
