A Core Supporting Asset is a mature Supporting Asset that has undergone significant Peer Review and is at a level where it is part of the Core MIKE2.0 Methodology. It is deemed to be of high interest to most users working on a specific Activity, therefore most vendor-specific Supporting Assets are not see as Core Supporting Assets.

When assets reach this state, they are generally better trusted by users and used a central part of the implementation approach. Core Supporting Assets are directly referenced in the Overall Implementation Guide and MIKE2.0 Solutions and only change as part of a Release Cycle. All Supporting Assets are candidates to become Core Supporting Assets.
