Skills and Competency Framework, Supporting the development and adoption of the Information Management Framework (IMF) and the National Digital Twin, published by the Centre for Digital Built Britain (CDBB) in 2021, defines an Information Management Framework (IMF) as: ‘The technical rulebook and handbook to develop a Data Commons to connect digital twins nationally by an FDM (Foundational Data Model) (relationship creator, ontology and taxonomy), RDL (Reference Data Library)(definitions) and IA (integration).'
