- | A digital engineering ecosystem is the interconnection of an infrastructure, digital environment, stakeholder-network, and model-based engineering (MBE) methodology that enables the value exchange of ideas captured in the form of digital artifacts from an authoritative source of truth [1]. | + | A digital engineering ecosystem includes enterprises' interconnected digital environments, stakeholder-networks, and semantic data that allows the exchange of digital artifacts from an authoritative source of truth to serve the stakeholder communities' interests [1]. |

It is a collaborative system that enforces the protection of intellectual property, cybersecurity, and security classification of participants’ digital artifacts [4]. With pre-agreed rules and fluidity of transactions, it enables an agile, rapid, and flexible development cycle to field complex systems using the **[[mbse:digital_engineering|digital engineering]]**<sup>3</sup> approach [5]. It has capabilities that span the continuum from concept through disposal [6]. The digital engineering ecosystem includes a robust an information technology (IT) infrastructure, digital environment, and a set of **[[mbse:model_based_engineering|model-based engineering (MBE)]]**<sup>4</sup> methods, processes and tools to support the digital engineering goals [4]. | + | The digital engineering ecosystem is a collaborative system of systems that uses [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_environment | digital environments]]<sup>1</sup> [2] to enable pre-agreed rules for transacting the exchange of **[[mbse:digital_artifact|digital artifacts]]** from an **[[mbse:authoritative_source_of_truth|authoritative source of truth]]**<sup>2</sup> within a stakeholder-network [3].
