Towards National Connected Digital Twins - A Geospatial Perspective
(2024) 19th 3D GeoInfo Conference 2024 In ISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences X-4-W5. p.147-154- Abstract
- Digital Twins are realistic digital representations of the physical world, frequently characterised by a two way link between digital and physical. Originating in manufacturing, they are now expanding to city and national scales. In this paper we explore connections between Geographic Information Science and National Digital Twins. Six different viewpoints and perspectives are presented on the topic, highlighting the importance of: geospatial data engineering; metadata engineering; standards; challenges facing mapping agencies; governance and public values; and a ”reality check” that explores the gaps between what is required and what can currently be achieved. We present 22 recommendations and summarise the findings by presenting a high... (More)
