14:09:46 [kaz]
mm: we can give some simple definition in the Charter
14:09:55 [kaz]
... should include it in the Charter and the IG's name
14:10:10 [kaz]
ack m

14:11:46 [McCool]
Basically a digital twin consists of a virtual model, a real entity, and a link between them - three components
14:11:52 [ktoumura]
ktoumura has joined #smartcities
14:12:27 [McCool]
then we need to elaborate a bit on each component. right now the charter emphasizes the "link" too much (IoT devices) but not the "model" (3D model? AI predictions? State shadowing? Time series databases?)
14:13:21 [McCool]
as mentioned by phila, people have different interpretations of the term, so we need to define it clearly and early in the doc if we use it
14:13:42 [kaz]
kaz: (transferred comments from Kasuya-san)

... IEC has database of terminology
14:14:49 [kaz]
... unfortunately, existing standard is not well-defined
14:15:00 [kaz]
... so IEC is working on smart standards
14:15:08 [kaz]
... there is a WG for that
14:15:16 [kaz]
... some groups now discussing that
14:15:33 [kaz]
... CDD will be a common platform for all the ICT systems
14:15:44 [kaz]

14:16:17 [kaz]
... it's a good way to work with WoT
14:16:37 [kaz]

14:20:20 [kaz]

q+ to talk about identifiers
14:26:49 [kaz]
... but UI is defined by each application
14:27:21 [kaz]
... depending on geolocation now also
14:27:28 [kaz]
... difficult to handle it properly without proper geolocation information
14:27:39 [kaz]
mm: narrow group focus
14:27:53 [kaz]
... UI to access the data
14:28:08 [kaz]

... but need for automatic identification
14:31:45 [kaz]
kaz: need some mechanism for users as well
14:32:03 [kaz]

Phila: whispers that my session this morning was about how GS1's identifiers are increasingly encoded in URIs. Analogous organisations are doing the same. We all recognise the need to connects IDs to the Web
14:36:17 [kaz]
kaz: let's collaborate even more
14:36:23 [McCool]
