CDBB published its Road Map two years ago. I would like to see an update on what items have been delivered to date, what’s is running late,  & what’s ahead of schedule. is tis available please?

Thank you @Lawrence .

We are currently updating the Roadmap to reflect our progress and learning over the last two years.  Hopefully, this will then provide a great view of what needs to come next.  It’s amazing to see how the agenda has moved forward, despite the challenges of Covid.

I will give an update here in a written format and I have included a snapshot of the first roadmap with icons to show completion or ongoing:

• Approach Stream: Completed
  • Published The Approach to Delivering a National Digital Twin for the United Kingdom
  • Published The Pathways toward an Information Management Framework
• Governance Stream: Progress made last year and scaled back during 2020 due to cut in budget (c19)
  • Preliminary work on roll-out and IMF ongoing governance
  • Preliminary work on benefits realisation
• Commons Stream:  Progress made on technical outputs
  • Published Top Level Ontology survey paper and published Reference Data Library and Industry Data Models survey paper to inform the IMF technical choices. Currently running conversation on the IMF Network. 
  • Shared first version of the Glossary
  • Launched the IMF Network
  • Early thinking on benefits Blog and webinar
  • Ongoing work: IMF consultation report, Legal roundtables (outcome report), Integration Architecture report, IMF Process Model, Security Pathway
• Digital Twin Hub Stream: Although this stream didn’t feature heavily on the first roadmap, it turned out to be a big part of the delivery vehicle. Some highlights:
  • 800 members
  • DT register
  • Suppliers register
  • Open source data register
  • Community calendar
  • Digital Twin Talks series
  • Monthly Editorials
  • Standards landscape and roadmap consultation
• Enablers Stream: Progress made last year and scaled back during 2020 due to cut in budget (c19)
  • Preliminary work on identifying strategic risks and opportunities
• Change Stream: 
  • Developed stakeholder map of over a thousand individuals 
  • Developed Engagement plans for key stakeholders
  • Developed Communication plan
  • Organised a weekly Gemini Call taking place every Tuesday 10:30 – 11:00, open to all members of the DTHub  (on average 50+ attendees each week)
  • Gemini Programme for collaboration on NDTp activities
  • Digital Twin Toolkit (Gemini Project) – a resource to support those developing digital twins with use cases framework, business case template, implementation roadmap

How useful do you think that the parallels in sectors such as manufacturing and aerospace are likely to prove in infrastructure @Peter?

@Ian Gordon I think there is a lot to uncover and learn from those sectors.  Check this out from O&G:  http://15926.org/topics/plant-lifecycle-model/index.htm#DataModel

I imagine it would be interesting (& fun) to map a potential hierarchy of individual and composite twins (aka fat twins ?) against the life-cycle of the physical system of things.  One way to start this could be by mapping the life-cycles of the physical system and overlay the interventions required on top of it.  The aim would be to have the minimum number of digital twins (maybe measured by data and cloud cost?) to capture all required information and enable decisions and interventions to be made safely and in time.

@Ian Gordon great topic. 

[Peter El Hajj]

• Who are you?  civil engineer with research experience in data-driven asset management and work experience in infrastructure finance and public private partnerships
• What is your industry and profession?  built environment and infrastructure – adviser
• Where do you plan to use your new Digital Twin Knowledge? Personally/professionally?  Support the delivery of a national digital twin that delivers benefits for all  
• Why have you decided to join the DTHub?  Interesting and diverse community.  Curiosity! 
• Have you participated in any of our meetups, or events?  yes, joined couple of webinars.  Really enjoyed the openness of the discussions and I look forward to more 
• Do you have any examples of work that you have done using Digital Twins?  optimising my route to work!  I look forward to seeing example of integrated digital twins.@SimonEvans   @Neil @Ian Gordon   next? ?

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 reducing individual investments,  having a common tool would be useful for knowledge sharing and to grow information management skills across the industry.  It could also facilitate for the ontologies to come together and create one upper ontology for our industry.   

What do others think?
