Charter Purpose identify the scope of model management and address the concerns of the community. Goal prioritize issues and establish scenarios and best practices that address the concerns of the community. Scope all models throughout the complete lifecycle

Vision We see a community of Systems (and discipline-specific) Engineers struggling to persist and to reference the artifacts of engineering over the lifecycle of each enterprise. We see a community of Stakeholders and Decision-makers forced to make decisions irrationally and intuitively due to a lack of access to the defensible argument of both legacy documentary and innovative model-based systems engineering. We see a day when engineers use distributed systems that automatically persist artifacts in compact, modular form along with the provenance of each modification. We see a day when engineers can reference the current and the historical representation of both individual artifacts and collections thereof along with the relational graphs between artifacts. We see a day when stakeholders make rational decisions using the Systems Engineers’ explicit sound dialectical and rhetorical arguments based on the provenance of content and change.
