Towards an Ontology of Digital Engineering Terminology to Support Digital Information Exchange

digital engineering;digital transformation;systems engineering;ontology;standards

In this presentation, we describe the current status of the DE ontology under development by the DEIX Taxonomy WG. We highlight the standards from which terminology has been extracted, and discuss decisions that have been made regarding the classification of this terminology. We show how the outcomes from the DE Taxonomy session at the INCOSE IW have influenced those decisions. Through example use cases, we demonstrate how this ontology can be used to support digital information exchange.
