@Miranda, you mention the IMF pathway consultation in your talk. Could you explain how members of the DT Hub can take part and perhaps share your thoughts on why the IMF pathway consultation is important for the success of the National Digital Twin programme.

Hub members are welcome to respond individually or on behalf of a group. We will also looking in to conducting interviews and round tables for people who would find that a more suitable way to feedback.
The document was produced after consultation with over 100 experts in the field of information management on the challenge of creating the common infrastructure which can connect different digital twins. We set out in the document, and the accompanying approach document, the reasons why such a common  infrastructure is necessary and helpful.  (Some members may like to direct their less technical colleagues to the approach document.)
The common infrastructure is called the Information Management Framework and comprises a Foundation Data Model (FDM), Reference Data Library and Integration Architecture. Work is underway this year to create an “FDM seed” to support the Construction Innovation Hub.
Through the consultation we are keen to hear from a wider community than the experts who contributed to creating it. This wider community may have completely different or completely aligned on the nature of the IMF so we are keen to test those views.
