An extended catalog system for the Management of Urban Digital Twins
by Marija Knezevic
A city is a complex system that involves many actors with different interests and information about the city's physical objects. Integrating information from distributed sources is therefore a common challenge in many smart city projects as well as in projects establishing Urban Digital Twins (UDT). In the context of distributed data infrastructures, metadata catalog systems make a significant contribution to data integration. However, neither existing catalogs for urban data management nor catalogs used in spatial data infrastructures (GDI) are tailored to manage UDTs.
We would like to discuss what kind of solutions you are using in your organization for (meta)data management. What is crucial to successfully manage resources for Urban Digital Twins? How to motivate stakeholders to participate in distributed (meta)data management?
Join us if you are ready to share your thoughts or hear experiences from experts all over the world on the topic of (meta)data management in smart cities. The BarCamp will be built on Thoams H. Kolbe's presentation on "Key Elements of Urban Digital Twins". The metadata catalog system will be demonstrated based on a UDT example Use Case followed by an interactive discussion.
