what does "topology and design" mean in respect to migration tool ?

hello, i am preparing to move my 1.9.1 site to v 2.1.1 with the migration tool.

 

In the prerequisites from the manual it says:

 

Set up your system using a topology and design that at least matches your existing Magento 1 system.

what does that mean ? i read a lot of threads and tutorials online and most seem to perform the migration into a blank fresh magento 2 install.

 

The terms 'topology' and 'design' don't really pop up anywhere else in the documentation in that respect so i'm not sure how to procede.

 

Do i have to create the catalog structure (topology ?) or anew theme (design ?) first before migrating ???
