We aim to develop a better understanding of what is needed to answer questions such as “When I want to compose two or more analyses, what do I need to take into account?” We describe the elements impacting analysis compositionality, the relation of these elements to analysis, and how composition of analysis relates to compositionality of these elements.

This core chapter addresses Challenge 1 introduced in Chap. 3 of this book (the theoretical foundations—how to compose …
