Web-based Digital Twins for Smart Cities

[ashimura]

Session description

In 2021, W3C organized a workshop on Smart Cities, and identified the stakeholders around Smart City standardization and reasonable applications for Smart City technologies. In addition, we got initial input on how to organize the draft Charter for a potential Interest Group for further discussions.

Then in 2022, based on the the workshop results, we organized a breakout session during TPAC 2022 with invited key stakeholders from related SDOs, e.g., ECHONET, IPA DADC, IEC SC3D, ISO/IEC JTC1 WG11, ITU-T SG20 and OGC.

During the session, we saw related SDOs' standardization activities so far, and identified the following:

• "Digital Twins" should be the key concept for Smart Cities standardization.

• Web standards, e.g., Web of Things (WoT), Decentralized Identifiers (DID) and Verifiable Credentials (VC), should be considered as possible key modules for the possible Web-based Digital Twins framework.

• Standard vocabulary for semantic interoperability is also required for the platform.

• Collaboration by related SDOs is necessary for further discussion, and W3C should become the central hub for the discussion given Web standards play very important roles.

Based on the discussion so far, we've been discussing how to improve the draft Charter of the proposed Web-based Digital Twins for Smart Cities Interest Group, and would like to get input during this session at TPAC 2023 to finalize the draft Charter.

Session goal

Following the breakout discussion during TPAC 2022, we'll summarize the discussion around Smart Cities within W3C so far, share the latest draft Charter for the proposed Web-based Digital Twins for Smart Cities IG, and get input from stakeholders for the proposed IG to finalize the draft Charter
