In relation to MSG STRUCT sources, what does the source Network Structure define?

The source Network Structure plays a crucial role in the MSG STRUCT within the Avaloq architecture by defining the fundamental formats and frameworks that can be utilized in the data sourcing process. This structure outlines how data is organized and laid out for processing and communication between different system components. By establishing these basic structures, the Network Structure ensures that data can be effectively interpreted and used by the system, paving the way for efficient data management and communication.

The other options focus on aspects that do not directly relate to the foundational data formats. Security protocols would govern how data is safeguarded during transmission, while methods for displaying data pertain more to the presentation layer rather than its organization. Additionally, the operating system would concern the environment in which data processing occurs, rather than the structural configuration of the data itself.
