Digital Twin Consortium

Open-source enables products and services to bring choice, technology, and community to our customers. Microsoft has published open-source GitHub repositories for smart building, smart city, and smart grid ontologies for digital twins, expressed in the open Digital Twins Definition Language (DTDL). We are excited to share this work with the Digital Twin Consortium’s s Open-Source Collaboration community. It’s our goal to partner with industry experts and provides ontologies which learn from, build on, and/or use industry standards, meet the needs of developers, and are adopted by the industry.

There is a big push in the aerospace and defense industry to transform the way we’re doing things and this is one of the biggest benefits of working with the Digital Twin Consortium. We get to break away from our everyday way of performing and try novel and better ways of developing these technologies.

For us, joining the Digital Twin Consortium was all about the right timing. We’re now at the point where, as enough people have gathered that value, we understand we should combine our learnings and our knowledge as a community to accelerate the delivery of the technology into this space. And not just the technology itself in terms of handing that over, but how the technology can deliver business value.
