  • Description

    Part of the Integration Architecture; The Data Transformation Engine is that will automate the integration of incompatible and legacy data into the system, both once on discovery and “just in time”.

  • Explanation

    Explanation

    Not all our data will be available in formats that are compatible with our foundational ontology. We will need to (at least partially) automate the integration of incompatible and legacy data into the system, both once on discovery and “just in time”. Permanent automated mappings will allow the digital twin catalogue to be continuously refreshed, while the transformation will be schemed to meet need, with links not needing to be “always on”. It will not be possible to develop all of these ourselves: but we will facilitate a distributed solution to this problem by providing tools to support this task (the responsibility to signpost information quality will remain on data providers). In some cases, this will be transformation of real-time telemetry, while in other cases, it will be sufficient to periodically collect and process telemetry to analyse performance and arrange maintenance.

Looking into this term it seems to me that transformation implies a changing of content as well as format, whereas a more neutral term like conversion clearly indicates that the content remains the same.

Agreed. Translation (oh no, another synonym!) of data between software tools is notoriously risky. There needs to be clarification of what is being converted and how its integrity is being tested.

We would like to suggest our team member's solution for this complex problem and also available a working MVP.
