Hi @DRossiter87
A quick follow up while Tanguy is also having a think about this.
A lot of the DT Hub members have talked about a need for digital twins, and the data that feeds into them, to be “right time” rather than real time. This could vary considerably from say, long term planning related to requirements for housing, vs managing incidents that impact on public safety (where real time, or near real time data might be required).
@Michael Mulquin and others it would be great if you also have any particular thoughts on this please.
Many thanks
Nick
I agree that “right time” is better. The contrast is really between static data, where the focus is not time related at all – data about the physical buildings and urban environment, about general demographics etc, and data about how things change over time. If you are wanting to monitor change – either to react to what is happening or to look at scenarios about what changes might happen, then you need data at the time intervals that are important. I guess that is one area where we need to change our draft definition!
