2023-09-20: Bringing Together DE Transformation (McGervey)
Date: Wednesday, Sept 20, 2023
The Digital Engineering Information Exchange Working Group (DEIXWG) is a collaboration between INCOSE, the NDIA Modeling and Simulation Subcommittee, and the DoD Office of the Under Secretary for Research and Engineering (DoD/OUSE (R&E)). The DEIXWG supports the strategic objective of accelerating digital engineering transformation by characterizing the content, semantic relationships, and standards involved in the exchange of digital engineering information between stakeholders representing various engineering disciplines throughout the product development lifecycle. The DEIXWG has been developing a catalog of example digital views and related user stories for exchanging digital information, a standardized lexicon of digital engineering terms in collaboration with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), and a conceptual model describing the nature of the digital information and the stakeholders and processes that work with that information
