SYSML17 — Requirements interchange issue

Information for facilitating the partner integration within the specification and requirements definition process (requirements interchange) are missing (e.g. meta information like version, access rights).

Remark: There is a specification already addressing this topic, the Requirements Interchange Format (RIF). It is available for download as ProSTEP iViP Recommendation PSI 6 at www.prostep.org. This specification was introduced to the SE DSIG by Rupert Wiebel from HOOD (a paper is available) and presented by Dr. Steven Vettermann from ProSTEP iViP and discussed at the ManTIS meeting on December 11th.

Proposal: Facilitating partner integration is out of scope of SysML

The reporter asks for additional elements in SysML to facilitate requirement interchange. Although this would be useful for SysML, it is out of scope.
