The project name is "SysML v1 to SysML v2 Transition Guidance Project." The project is intended to provide early guidance in the form of recommendations to assist organizations, projects, and practitioners in their transition from a model-based systems engineering (MBSE) approach using SysML v1 to an MBSE approach using SysML v2. This is not official government guidance. This is a collaborative effort that is drawing from input from across the MBSE community and is intended as an open and public effort. The OMG Systems Modeling Language™ Version 2 beta specifications were adopted in June 2023. Finalized specifications were published by OMG in September 2025. The SysML v2 submission concluded seven years of development, resulting in three specifications and an open-source pilot implementation to validate them (using the beta specs). These specifications enable next-generation systems modeling with improved precision, expressiveness, consistency, usability, interoperability, and extensibility over SysML version 1. The three specifications are: 1.[[https://www.omg.org/spec/KerML|Kernel Modeling Language (KerML) specification version 1.0]] - defines a new metamodel to provide the foundation for SysML v2. Its formal semantics specified as first order of logic with 4D temporal and spatial extent, provide a new level of precision. 2.[[https://www.omg.org/spec/SysML|Systems Modeling Language (SysML) specification version 2.0]] - provides the expressive capability to model complex systems and complementary textual and graphical representations that facilitate improved system understanding. 3.[[https://www.omg.org/spec/SystemsModelingAPI|SysML Application Programming Interface (API) and Services specification version 1.0]] - provides standard services to navigate, query, and update the model that enables interoperability with other tools and software applications throughout the lifecycle of system development. //Content derived from OUSW (R&E) publicly available material// ---- =====Terminology ===== ^Term^Definition^ |Model Conversion|The process for converting a baseline SysML v1 model to a baseline SysML v2 model that includes pre-processing the SysML v1 model, transforming the SysML v1 model to a SysML v2 model, post-processing the SysML v2 model, validating the SysML v2 model, and assessing the impact on other artifacts generated or derived from the model.| |Transform|A step in the model conversion process which translates a conformant SysML v1 model to a conformant SysML v2 model.| |Transition|The process that an organization or project implements to update their SysML v1 modeling environment, practices, training, and related assets to support SysML v2 modeling.| //Content derived from OUSW (R&E) publicly available material// ---- ===== Guidance Products ===== ^ Product ^ Description ^ |[[mbse:sysml_v2_transition:frequently_asked_question_faq_s|Frequently Asked Questions]]| 58 Frequently Asked Questions stakeholders might have, along with the latest answers to those questions.
