Ontology vs. File Federation: Why the Future of Digital Twins Isn’t About Formats

Digital twins are everywhere in the conversation today — from airports to rail networks, utilities to manufacturing. But not all twins are created equal. The biggest dividing line? Whether they’re built on file federation or on a true ontology. At Nextspace, we believe this is the single most important choice infrastructure owners and operators will make in the next decade.
