Building knowledge infrastructures to support the Twin of Digital Twins concept
A city ends up with several digital twins: emergencies, mobility, infrastructure. Each one works on its own and none of them knows the others exist. What makes them cohere is not a bigger twin, it is a knowledge infrastructure underneath them, and a knowledge graph built properly is what turns the Twin of Digital Twins from a slide into something you can query.
Ontology and geospatial resources in Urban Digital Twins
One of the most common mistakes when designing the semantic layer of an Urban Digital Twin is treating the ontology as the place where all the city's information lives. It is not, and it should not be. The ontology is the nexus that connects urban semantics with heavyweight geospatial resources, and understanding that distinction changes the way you design the data architecture.
