Here’s the list of the concepts to save you time reading it:
- Data as a complete resource for growth. Providing operational insight, educated decisions and shared workflows for improved efficiency.
- A sum greater than its parts. Trends identified through multi-variable data analysis. A need to balance interoperability and confidentiality.
- The value of data exchange as well as the value of bringing content, context, and meaning together.
- Avoiding the cost of decoding input data from multiple sources.
- The requirement for a unifying specification to define the data format.
- The need to architect vendors around data interoperability. Expect interoperability as a table stakes requirement. If a vendor’s solution isn’t open and interoperable, find one whose is.
- Broader decisions and indirect analysis from informed data and unrelated use cases.
- Interoperability ensures IOT is not a means to an end, but a data source into broader strategies.
- Interoperability is the key to good user experiences.

The value of Digital Twins can only be realized if Digital Twins and their virtual environment contain the same data and resulting information as their corresponding Physical Twins and real-world environment. This means that the need for more extensive, faster, and richer sensing of the physical world will dramatically increase as valuable use cases proliferate. In addition, we will evolve from working in physical or virtual environments to integrating and working simultaneously in both environments. Dr. Grieves discusses his views on the opportunities and issues of this evolution.
