To engage on the idea that the citation may be an inappropriate external link, I'd like to discuss how a consistent and reliable definition of an industry comes about.

The consortium cited has a membership representing a coalition of private companies and governments across the globe, and involves a large and active contingent of individuals who have worked in digital solutions for decades. The definition of a technology/industry, which will be used to sell and market products across the world, should be established by exactly such a group.

There are many advertisements now that reference "digital twins" as a product, but which are simple static 3-dimensional models of an asset which is nothing more than a 3D model. This definition needs to be clear in how it deviates from "standard modelling". Otherwise carpet baggers will be successful marketing their wares to the unassuming.

Hello, I'm Notfrompedro. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to Digital twin have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.

Further discussion
Hello,

When removing my external link, you also reverted to the originally drafted definition of a Digital Twin.

There is no relevant source provided for the initial definition provided, and it does not correlate with reality. There cannot be a fundamentally 'real-time' virtual representation of anything, and many digital twins which are used in industry can be refreshed at 15 minutes intervals or less (far from real time). The key thing is that there is a process to synchronize a 3D model with the real world asset, and that happens at a specific frequency and fidelity.

Compared to the original definition, the definition provided by my edit--which is based on an diverse consensus--is more specific, clearly defined, locked in with stakeholders from diverse industries, and distinguishes a digital twin from fantasy. The previous definition is uncited, unclear, and lacking a basis in reality.

Is the problem in the citation or the definition? 215.71.54.64 (talk) 19:26, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
