Standards
One of the core objectives of the National Digital Twin programme and the Digital Twin Hub has been to support the development of standards to encourage and enable consistency and compatibility in approach with the built environment sector.
The development of standards is an essential step to enable an Information Management Framework (IMF), and can increase the capability, cost-effectiveness and re-usability of solutions developed by the supply chain.
This work began with the Standards roadmap developed by the British Standards Institute to explore the existing standards landscape and define a route charting the subsequent standards opportunities. It will evolve with the development of standards within the BSI’s recommended framework for digital twins in the built environment.
The Standards roadmap was first published in early 2021 and is constantly evolving with the development of standards within the BSI framework.
