ITRC – Resilience study research for NIC Systems analysis of interdependent network vulnerabilitieshttps://nic.org.uk/app/uploads/Infrastructure-network-analysis.pdf

Hey @DRossiter87 – thanks for sharing. I thought this is a good report. Since I saw your post here, I’ve been on a research exercise to find more references to “cost of bad data”.  Have you come across other studies that assess or discuss that cost? I think it is helpful knowledge to help assess the value you can get from data; both value of st…

@JRobertson – thank you sharing. Will cc colleagues from CReDo project.

FYI – @Sarah @Tom Collingwood @Chris Dent @RachelJudson

@JRobertson – thank you for sharing, this is interesting. Would it be possible to share the link to the report or open data you found? 

@Alexandra – Live from DCW:

 

@Paul – I think that data’s direction of travel will always be towards a decision to be made. I don’t see a link between the data’s direction of travel and its ability to undermine a network, even if the entire network is in one direction (eg. train timetables).  However I see a link between ‘data connections’ and ‘network value’ although n…

Interesting event! Thanks for sharing, @Graham!

Hi @Ajay – great area for discussion. One step is to identify the information requirements from the existing Operation and Management frameworks.  Check out this report on process-based information requirement:

That Information & Process/Intervention & Decisions I guess as what it’s called now, puts the Digital ahead of the Physical. I suppose what I am say is, can the Digital Twin influence the Physical and can we test the change “What ifs” on the Digital prior to making Intervention & Decisions on th…

I could envisage a sort of maturity level for city digital twins, ‘starting’ with those which try to keep up & working through to those which actively manage agreed aspects of the city.

Hi @Peter – thank you very much for the comments. I fully agree on your point earlier…

Does anyone have examples of where this kind of approach has been adopted successfully?

Hi All 

On the NDTp we want to develop a systems map for the infrastructure/built environment systems. We want the map to show the entities, connections (edges) and information exchange.

Just wondering if anyone has relevant examples to share?

Here are the examples I found online so far:

Example 1 from https://www.mcs.anl.gov/pape…

In terms of intervention, it should be upfront. Is intervention a good word? Can we not use the digital twin to make the physical better?

Not sure I fully got the caveat.  Intervention is linked directly with better outcomes from the physical.

 

I agree we do need a thinking em…

A great introductory resource.

Thank you, @Bola. This is only the start and it would be great to get your feedback on it. 

Hi all,

Please have a look at this presentation and share you thoughts!

Hi @Neil_Harrison.  It looks from the Industry Data Models Survey Document that the IES will be become publicly available soon:

I haven’t seen it yet but copying in @David Leal who might have more information on IES publication.

It’s been clear from the start of the National Digital Twin programme, that to make it a success we really need to work closely with users and early adopters to share best practice and create a framework for others to build on. In practice this has meant a lot of research, evaluation and collaboration.

Hi Ian – thank you very much for sharing this. I am new to data modelling and ontologies, but certainly doing my best to learn. 

And I find both of your posts on DT Hub really helpful, so I look forward to more!   

To comment on your question, having a common toolkit to develop Ontologies makes a lot of sense.  In addition to red…
