Abstract
This Chapter provides an overview of Open Source, including the origination with specific references that trace the history of Open Source Code projects, including successes and failures.
This approach gives the reader an understanding of an early concept of best practices, including the roles of the teams involved in the process and critical areas concerning the economic engineering of project consumption. Considerations spanning the development phase through the lifecycle of Open Source projects, both partners and projects for expanding the ecosystem, are explored. The Chapter concludes with a description of the Digital Twin Consortium’s Open Source Collaboration Community reference design platform. The reference architecture platform stack’s primary components are further detailed through representative Open Source Use Cases delineating the primary elements.

Summary
This Chapter has incorporated many Open Source fundamentals, including historical and current examples, while opening the door for future open source project proposals, with the hope of enabling interested parties to participate in the Open Source Collaboration Community with an open source contribution. In addition to the fundamentals, this Chapter described the composition of an Open Source project “healthy team “along with the business and economic considerations associated with Open Source project contributions for both non-profit and for-profit organizations. A description of the Digital Twin Consortium Open Source Collaboration Community as a means of illustrating not only a platform for assistance but an open source project that serves as the Digital Twin Consortium reference architecture platform stack up.
In the concluding section, an Open Source Use Case illustrated an actual world application based on the DTC reference architecture showing a collection of partners and projects for future growth.
