The 2009 edition was a major revision to IEEE 1016-1998, elevating it from recommended practice to full standard. This revision was modeled after [[IEEE 1471|IEEE Std 1471-2000]], ''Recommended Practice for Architectural Description of Software-intensive Systems'', extending the concepts of [[IEEE 1471#IEEE Conceptual Framework for Architecture Description|view, viewpoint, stakeholderstakeholdernvx , and concern]] from architecture description to support documentation of high-level and detailed design and construction of software. [IEEE 1016, ''Introduction'']

Following the IEEE 1016 conceptual model, an SDD is organized into one or more designdesivbxbchn'''Bold text'''gn views. Each design view follows the conventions of its design viewpoint. IEEE 1016 defines the following design viewpoints for use:<ref>IEEE 1016, Clause 5.</ref>

*Context viewpoint

*Composition viewpoint
