What is District Information Modelling

Chapter 8
Handbook of Research on Developing Smart Cities Based on Digital Twins
It extends the Building Information Modelling at the district scale, by creating a new kind of domain. The main challenge to face when creating a DIM concerns the ability to manage a big amount of data, coming from different domains. In this field, interoperability plays a key role for data exchange among different domains. It can be considered a first step to optimize data management and the development of a smart city.

Abstract
In the era of connections and information and communication technologies, the building industry is facing the challenge of digitization at the building and urban scale. Several researches have been carried out to generate virtual city models to manage and represent a variety of data to reach the smart city concept. Therefore, the development of building/urban digital twins is directly linked to the definition of innovative methods and tools that are able to collect, organize, query heterogeneous data to make it available for the various involved actors. This chapter aims at presenting the district information modelling methodology that is strictly related to the digital twin concept, starting with data domains, arriving at the various tools developed to reach the users' needs.
