DIGITAL TWINS TECHNOLOGIES IN AGRICULTURAL PROJECT MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
Keywords:
Agrarian Project, Digital Twins, Ontology, OWL, Sustainable DevelopmentAbstract
In the last few decades, global market and life processes have shown that many different aspects of human activity are closely tied. This leads to the Sustainable Development Strategy targeted at the balanced interconnection of the environment (lands, atmosphere, ecosystems), society (cultural, educational and health) and economics, of coarse. Such complex approach needs a new tools for development and evaluation projects in the all activity sphears. The current work is devoted to the potential directions for development such tools. The possible principles for developing project development systems in agriculture are considered and analysed in the research, which are based on modern technologies, including Digital Twins, Ontologies, and network services, in the context of increasing requirements for Sustainable Development and general trends towards rational and economical use of the planet's resources. The analysis demonstrates the potentially high efficiency and versatility of the proposed approach not only for solving issues of project creation, but also for their further management and monitoring of compliance with target functions. By examining the conditional example of a sowing field, the features and general approaches to forming the information model structure of the domain area and its connected environment are considered, based on determined and tied ontologies. Two main directions of further research are also identified: creating a base for the unified implementation of digital twins and automated analysis systems of ontologies presented in OWL formats, and generating new, complex framework models based on them. The paper consists of a preliminary justification for the concept of new system development for the life cycle of economic and business project management in the agricultural sector.
