Definition (Digital Twin):
- "Digital representation of a target entity with data connections that enable convergence between the physical and digital states at an appropriate rate of synchronisation." [ISO/IEC 30173:2023, 3.1.1]
- "A Digital Twin of a system consists of a set of models of the system, a set of Digital Shadows, and a set of services that allow using the data and models purposefully with respect to the original system."
