Claim 5:
6. An apparatus for configuring an observable object as a digital twin in a digital twin system of a domain, the apparatus comprising:
one or more computer-executable units being configured and executed by a processor using algorithms associated with at least one non-transitory storage device, the algorithms, when executed, causing the processor to execute the one or more computer-executable units, the one or more computer-executable units comprising:
a digital twin model author that defines a purpose for the observable object to perform a role in the domain, organizes data based on the role, and configures the observable object into a digital twin according to the purpose based on the data;
a domain plug-in manager that interworks the digital twin with a digital twin system in each of other domains;
a multi-role manager that manages properties according to roles performed by the observable object in a plurality of domains; and
a data synchronizer that synchronizes between the observable object and the digital twin,
wherein the digital twin model author configures the observable object as the digital twin by using the digital twin information about the observable object received from the other domain in which the observable object performs a different role,
wherein the digital twin model author generates a digital twin having different characteristics from the those of other domain to fit a purpose and roles specified in the domain for the observable object,
wherein the data synchronizer maintains the digital twin for the observable object between the plurality of domains in the same state,
wherein the role represents an execution function for a behavioral action to achieve the purpose.
