Recommended Practice for the Development of Digital Twins of the Earth

This recommended practice covers the development processes for Digital Twins of the Earth (DTEs) and their subsystems along with reconfiguration pathways that realign existing systems or elements thereof to fit these recommended digital twin practices. A digital twin is a set of virtual information constructs that mimics the structure, context, and behavior of a natural, engineered, or social system (or system-of-systems), is dynamically updated with data from its physical twin, has a predictive capability, and informs decisions that realize value. The bidirectional interaction between the virtual and the physical is central to the digital twin. Digital Twins of the Earth focus on the planet Earth and its subsystems, including, atmosphere, cryosphere, oceans, solid Earth, lifeforms, and human-engineered systems and their interactions. This recommended practice contains engineering practices applicable to the development of interoperable digital twins, including the underlying reference architectures and components of DTEs; the interfaces between different digital subsystems; as well as related data and service models necessary to describe a digital twin, its functions and outputs as well as the interfaces (inputs and outputs) to other DTEs.

Other Activities From This Working Group

Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.


No Active Projects

Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.


No Active Standards

These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.


No Superseded Standards

These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.


No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards

These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.


No Inactive-Reserved Standards
