Hi Tom, what I think we do poorly is maximising the benefits of sharing. First we need an environment for sharing, which CDBB could enable. The key role that is missing for me is the Admin / Integrator role, which is similar to say an open data source platform (e.g. QGIS) and someone writes an add-in and the Admin / Integrator merges this into the core code. With the way we are silo’d, especially deeper into programmes and projects, there is no one organisation motivated for this role and so we can’t maximise the benefits of sharing. Could this be a role for CDBB as part of the DG core functionality around populations? Thanks Richard
@Richard Bradley I agree with you. Maximising the benefits of shaing is essential to delivering the National Digital Twin programme’s vision of an ecosystem of digital twins that are capable of delivering sustainable benefits for society, the environment and the ecomony. This twin talk series has brought together leaders to provide different perspectives on the interconnection of digital twins along side leading work in this space. The pathway to an Information Managment Framework puts forward the approach to realising this vision through the development of a common Foundation Data Model, Referece Data Library, and Integration Architecture. This is open for public consultation until the end of August and an excellent opportunity to provide feedback on the propsoed approach and role that CDBB could/should play in maximising the benefits of sharing. My personal view is a single organisaiton responsible for integration would face significant challanges in both capacity and capability. This could impact time to value and the ability to respond to the broad ranging challanges that Digital Twins may help to address. I think integration will be decentralised and driven by innovaiton. I think the role that CDBB will play is connecting this innovation with common principles and frameworks as well as alignment within the buit environment to create a positive selction pressure towards openness and away from closed systmes
