A Study on Guidelines for Constructing Building Digital Twin Data

In South Korea, to systematically share and operate data related to the National Digital Twin, a reference model standard for the National Digital Twin concept was established in 2021. This was followed by the development of national standards (KS) for buildings. Despite these efforts, the implementation of digital twin (or spatial information) projects faces challenges owing to a low level of understanding of the standards and the absence of a standardized data construction process. Consequently, data construction that adheres to these standards is not being accomplished. Additionally, a lack of understanding of data models, semantic elements, and GML editing methods has led to the creation of appearance-focused data. To address these issues, this study proposes a digital twin data (building domain) construction guide that organizes geometric information, semantic information, and attribute information for building-related digital twin data components (such as doors, windows, etc.). This guide study aims to enable stakeholders to easily construct fundamental digital twin data in accordance with the standards, ensuring high-quality product creation that meets the requirements. Furthermore, the detailed data construction requirements defined in this guide will allow it to serve as a manual usable by both the public and private sectors.
