Stable section ID: S05-CON-015-SECTION-63 · 13 content blocks
A Digital Identity is the unique and persistent identity assigned to an Engineering Entity so that it can be distinguished, referenced, related, tracked, and governed throughout its applicable lifecycle.
Digital Identity may apply to physical components, product types, assemblies, buildings, Interfaces, documents, requirements, software services, AI agents, manufacturing facilities, processes, events, and other controlled entities.
A Digital Identity may connect an entity to:
type, family, and version;
manufacturer and manufacturing location;
material and configuration;
applicable Interfaces and compatibility;
installation and operational location;
certification and verification evidence;
inspection, maintenance, and lifecycle history;
ownership, stewardship, or responsible authority.
Digital Identity is independent of any particular label, barcode, database, software vendor, network, or physical marking technology.
Changing ownership, location, software platform, or physical marking shall not create a new identity unless the underlying entity has been formally replaced or reclassified according to the applicable identity rules.
