Abstract
The Iliad Digital Twins of the Ocean is a European Green Deal Project which aims at the development of an architecture and set of components, tools and services for the creation of digital twins of the ocean. The approach aims to support the emerging European Digital Twins of the Ocean (EDITO) initative with associated projects like EDITO Infra and EDITO Model lab and the overall Destination Earth (DestinE) initiative and also taking advantage of the evolving European Common Data Spaces including the Green Deal Data Space, the Copernicus Data Space and the EOSC cross domain Data Space. The paper presents the final version of the Iliad digital twin interoperability architecture based on four steps of a digital twin pipeline from Data Acquisition/Collection to Digital Twin Data Representation to Digital Twin Hybrid and Cognitive/AI Analytics Models and further to Digital Twin Visualisation and Control, which are presented together with associated Digital twin components and services.
