What are we referring to as Digital Twin? ▪ Digital Twin = Digital representation of a real-world asset • Characterized by attributes □ Properties □ Relationships Linked Data • Values of attributes may change over time (or not) • Typically have a location (but it is not a must requirement) ▪ (digital representation of) Context = Digital Twins Collection ▪ Cornerstone for the development of interoperable and replicable (portable) Smart Solutions: • Standard API for getting access to Digital Twin data (context) • Common Data Models associated to Digital Twin classes ▪ FIWARE has driven standardization+adoption: • NGSI: NGSIv2 ETSI NGSI-LD API • Smart Data Models initiative (500+ data models) 2
