WHAT CAN WE EXPECT FROM THE GEMINI PRINCIPLES. The previous example is a simple case applied to a transaction between a citizen and an authority; but as seen in the final paragraphs, it is necessary that different models interconnect; otherwise the chain will be interrupted at the weakest link. For this to happen, it is necessary that the digital transformation includes the entire environment built in a general way, so that better use, operation, maintenance, planning and delivery of national and local assets, systems and services are guaranteed. It must bring benefits for the whole society, the economy, business and the environment. For now, the most inspiring example is that of the United Kingdom. With its proposal of Fundamental Gemini Principles and its road map; but before we call friends to always go against the tide and their historical habit of always wanting to do everything in a different but ceremoniously orderly way. To this day, British standards (BS) have had a high impact on standards with an international reach; where the work of current initiatives such as i3P, ICG, DTTG, UK BIM Alliance is respectable.
THE GEMINI PRINCIPLES: These are a guide to the values of “awareness” of the information management framework, which includes 9 principles grouped into 3 axes as follows: Purpose: Public good , Value creation, Vision. Trust: Security, Openness, Quality. Function: Federation, Healing, Evolution. THE ROADMAP. This is a prioritised plan to develop the information management framework, with 5 streams that keep cross way with the Gemini principles. Each of these streams have its own critical routes, with concatenated activities but they are interdependent; as it is displayed on the previous infographic. These streams are: Approach, with 8 critical tasks and 2 noncritical. Key as its definition is necessary to activate the enablers. Governance, with 5 critical tasks and 2 non-critical. It is the stream with less dependencies. Commons, with 6 critical and 7 non-critical, is the most extensive. Enablers,, with 4 critical and 6 non-critical tasks, with a lot of interrelation with change management. Change 7 critical tasks and 1 non-critical. It is the stream whose critical path is a conductive thread.
Because of this particularity in the United Kingdom, we are not surprised by what the Digital Framework Working Group (DFTG) is launching. It brings together key voices from government, academia and industry to reach a consensus on fundamental definitions and values – guidance necessary to shore up the digital transformation. With president Mark Enzer, the DFTG has signed up for an interesting task to create the framework that provides effective information management throughout the built environment, including secure data As you can identify in this scope, you are not exchange. This work, to date, includes two merely thinking of the United Kingdom as documents: your own Brexit of digital transformation,
