Thanks Chris and Andrew. I think that you have been doing some interesting work to look at connections between twins in different sectors/areas (or twins that connect across these sectors). Are there any specific thoughts on what might help networks of cross-sector twins?
Just reading through Olivier’s ODI Data Access Map – a bit too much to digest immediately on first glance. What does strike me about that, and the conversation in the thread, is that we’ve very quickly got hung up on data, which is essentially the lowest level of the twin concept (ref the triangle diagram in the Gemini Principles). Far greater challenged will emerge as we seek to connect twins as this will require co-modelling across vastly different systems, with huge differences in temporal and spatial scales, it will require much more complex decision support and solution space optimisation and for twins to be designed and operated in a manner that makes the benefits they bring to be made available to non-expert users.
