5.1 Purpose

The City Digital Twin pipeline is a piece of software (ETL) developed by Digital twin LLC. It has been developed to:

• collect the initial data on indicators of socio-economic and natural-anthropogenic development of a city from available data sources,
  
• update the parameters for mathematical models representing the life cycles of settlements, territories, and areas of activity
  
• prepare forecast scenarios for the development of the territory
  
• estimate the general indicators of the condition of the territory and achieve the target outcome
  
• conduct a bottleneck analysis
  
• conduct a comparative analysis between the territories
  
• prepare parameters for management decisions that ensure the achievement of the target state

Pipeline features:

• functional connectivity of data sets at each stage of pipeline processing (transparency of transformation)
  
• traceability of data sets from the source to the recipient of the information
  
• integrity, completeness, and consistency of output indicator values
  
• the satisfaction of balance ratios (output indicators correspond to a system of equations set by a unified model of the socio-economic situation and development of territories)
