SEBoK Users and Uses

Based on the six purposes described in Table 1, there are nine primary types of SEBoK users, that are shown in Table 2 along with example uses of the SEBoK. These users have the technical skills necessary to access and understand the SEBoK. Table 3 shows another three types of secondary users who lack those technical skills and would likely rely on someone who is a primary user type, such as a practicing systems engineer, to help them access and understand the SEBoK. The example uses shown in Tables 2 and 3 are intended to be indicative, but not exhaustive.
