Digital Twins and Data Ontologies

DAFNI: Data & Analytics Facility for National Infrastructure - a UKCRIC facilityDAFNI is the National Platform to satisfy the computational needs in support of data analysis; infrastructure research; and strategic thinking for the UK’s long term planning and investment needs. The platform will support academic research that is aiming to provide the UK with a world leading infrastructure system that is more: efficient, reliable, resilient and affordable. It will achieve this by enabling the research community to conduct research that is able to generate new insights at a higher level of detail and accuracy than ever before.

Digital Twins enabling sustainable development in infrastructure and the built environment and the role of ontologiesDigitalisation and the tools available in the era of Industry 4.0 are enabling many organisations to develop perspectives and strategies on Digital Twins which will bring us closer to understanding how to develop, operate and adapt infrastructure and the built environment. This is essential to provide near real-time agility and responsiveness to prevent things going wrong, and to respond to changes in demand, but also to plan for sustainable development more effectively than ever before. This will lead to better outcomes for people, business and the environment through better insight of the trade-offs across our infrastructure and city interventions. Before we rush into Digital Twins we need to get on the same page, or at least find some way of sharing how we each understand our bit of knowledge of the smart city. This means we need to share our ontologies which may not yet have been explicitly stated, and we need to figure out the basis of our ontologies – what assumptions we make, what we can and can’t discover, and what we want to achieve. Ontologies are essential for us to be able to connect Digital Twins created for different reasons and with different assumptions: for example, route planning and smart motorways.This event will share exciting work on Digital Twins and ontologies as well as enabling facilities and ways of thinking. There will be the opportunity to ask speakers about their talks. After a virtual coffee break, you can join one of three workshops (transport, energy, water) where discussions will be led by an industry expert and you can have your say by adding your own virtual post-it notes to an on-line collaborative whiteboard.Draft agenda9:30-11:00 <ol><li>Setting the scene: Arup - Volker Buscher, Arup Chief Data Officer</li><li>Enablers: Costain -John Batterbee, Costain Group, Technology Solutions Director Costain Group</li><li>Facilities: STFC/DAFNI - Brian Matthews, DAFNI Project lead </li><li>Top Level Ontologies: BORO/IMF - Chris Partridge, BORO Solutions Chief Ontologist </li><li>Wider ontologies: UCL - Liz Varga, Professor of Complex Systems at UCL Head of UCL's Infrastructure Systems Institute</li></ol> Q&A Session11.00 – 11.20 Comfort break 11.20:12:20 Three parallel sessions:<ol><li>Transport: Highways England</li><li>Energy: Energy Systems Catapult</li><li>Water: Anglian Water</li></ol>
