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.
Agreed! The presentation tries to cover that in some respect.
When we started exploring this “web of twins” I also expected to mostly be thinking about (raw) data flows, but we quickly realised that there is just as much value, if not more, in getting collaboration (and sharing) at the higher levels (models, insights, decisions).
