Authoritative Representation

• The AR is the “best” (most appropriate) representation for the production of an INE data set

  • Simulation may use an alternate representation derived from AR

• The primary attributes of an AR specification include:

  • The resolution at which the AR is produced
  • The degree to which the domains are coupled
  • The physics packages that are employed

• The AR is determined by the INE providers

  • A collaborative discussion amongst the Resource Owners and/or other MSEA designated SME
  • NOT the M&S customer (and not the ESG System)

• Contributing Factors influencing AR

  • The environmental conditions requested
  • The degree of coupling between the domains
  • The intended use by the customer
