Digital Twin KIT

Based on the information provided in this kit, it is possible to run and program against an infrastructure of Digital Twins the Catena-X-way. This infrastructure empowers Data Consumers to consume the network's data as agreed with each Data Provider and facilitated by an Operating Company. They run central and decentral services that allow them to discover each other, exchange information and contextualize it according to a standardized semantics.

The APIs for digital twins are based on the specifications of the Asset Administration Shell (AAS) as defined in CX-0002.
