🌐 You can now interact with the vessel and explore how onboard sensor data connects with ship ontologies.
🧠 These ontologies form the foundation for future knowledge graphs, enabling us to model an ocean-going vessel as a System of Systems (SoS).

⚓ This is an important step toward smarter, more sustainable, and data-driven maritime operations with a realistic digital twin development methodology.

Ship Data, Ontologies, Knowledge Graphs to Digital Twin

The figure illustrates how sensor data from an ocean-going vessel can be transformed into a digital twin through a structured data-modelling process. It shows that data collected from onboard systems is first organized using ontologies, which provide a shared semantic structure. These ontologies then support the creation of knowledge graphs that connect vessel systems, components, sensor observations, and operational context. Through this representation, the vessel can be modelled as a system of systems, forming the foundation for developing a digital twin structure for ocean-going vessels. data2dt

Sensor Data to Ship Digital Twin

This video demonstrates how sensor data from an ocean-going vessel can be connected through ontologies, thereby forming the foundation for knowledge graphs. A knowledge graph representation enables the vessel to be modelled as a system of systems (SoS), capturing the relationships among its subsystems, components, and operational data. This information makes the digital twin architecture for ocean-going vessels, which represents one of the main contributions of the TwinShip Horizon Europe project. The digital twin of the TwinShip futuristic vessel with net-zero emissions and autonomous navigation is presented in this video.
