- Integrating Citiverse and Local Digital Twins via Data Spaces
Web 4.0 and virtual worlds
Libelium is a SME and it has directly contribute to Libelium and other SMEs working on Data Spaces, Digital Twins and Citiverse by lowering entry costs via reusable NGSI‑LD/MIM8 profiles and Toolbox components; reduced lock‑in and faster integrations, and making easier the market access to Data Space Ready patterns (CT73/UNE) and Gaia‑X alignment for trustworthy exchange.
I see a bit different societal impact of each target project: Interoperable public services and vendor‑neutral procurement via NGSI‑LD/MIM8 profiles. Trustworthy data sharing for cities/SMEs through UNE 0087 an Gaia‑X trust mechanisms. Inclusive urban innovation under the Citiverse initiative (human‑centred, open, safe).
Value of Research
The sectors of Digital Twins, Virtual Worlds/Citiverse, IoT and Data Spaces are fragmented, especially the uneven uptake of NGSI‑LD, Smart Data Models/SAREF and governance models creates a barrier for cross‑domain interoperability in cities. Therefore, I focus on harmonising these layers within ITU‑T Citiverse and EU Local Digital Twin (LDT) Toolbox. I also contribute to aligning LDT and Data Space governance with UNE 0087:2025 and the Gaia‑X Trust Framework to operationalise sovereignty, compliance and automated conformance.
