<p>All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The first attachment shows connectivity options being
considered for the Digital Twin manufacturing framework (ISO
23247).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The second attachment shows an EXPRESS-G schema for the
second edition of AP238 Edition 2.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>We have some questions:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ol start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal"
style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0
level1 lfo1">
There are fours types of connectivity can you say which
should be supported in the framework?<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"
style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0
level1 lfo1">
What is the best name for the Digital Twin Core? Suggestions
include the Digital Twin Agent and the Digital Twin Manager.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"
style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0
level1 lfo1">
Are you able to navigate around the AP238 Edition 2 schema?
You should be able to load the SVG file into any browser
except Internet Explorer.
<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"
style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0
level1 lfo1">
For IMTS 2018, we used AP238 to define the twins (see
below). What other schemata are appropriate for the Digital
Twin Core/Agent/Manager?<o:p></o:p></li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks in advance for any response you can give us. Please
send us a response if you can. You do not have to answer all
the questions.<o:p></o:p></p>
