Q&A thread for the Gemini call 29 March 2022

[David McK]

Thanks, Kirsten. I can see that the Navigator is quite intuitive But have you produced a short 'how to' introduction/video or helper that shows, as you did, the exciting things it offers?

Is the work on the information management framework going to align with IFC ISO 16739?

[Elvin Box]

How should we share the NDTp with others in our Network, going forwards, please?

[Mark Enzer]

Kirsten, the Navigator is great!  Could you maybe say a few words how it incorporates best practice from the world of knowledge management?

The IFCs are one of many Industry Data Models that we need to take account of. An initial survey can be found here:

https://digitaltwinhub.co.uk/files/file/89-a-survey-of-industry-data-models-and-reference-data-libraries/

The challenge is that these industry data models are incompatible with each other making data difficult to share across industries and sectors.

It is the aim of the National Digital Twin programme to specifically enable sharing of data among digital twins across sectors to enable a system of systems approach to managing national infrastructure. Therefore the IMF sets out to develop a Foundation Data Model and Reference Data Library that is able to support data across multiple industry data models. We would expect to work closely with the developers and users of various Industry Data Models and Reference Data Libraries to ensure that the underlying data requirements they express are supported by the IMF. We hope this process will also help to highlight how individual Industry Data Models can be improved to make them directly more compatible with each other.
