Intergeo 2023: BIM, Twin in Berlin

Abstract

This article concerns Intergeo 2023 in Berlin and the event’s focus on BIM and digital twins. Building Information Modelling and digital-twin approaches are increasingly important for representing buildings, infrastructure, and urban systems through structured digital information. Their practical value depends on linking models to reliable spatial data, maintaining consistent identifiers and coordinate systems, and supporting exchange between tools and organisations. A major industry event provides a setting for demonstrating technologies, discussing standards, and sharing experiences among practitioners. The topic reflects the convergence of surveying, geoinformation, construction, and asset management. Digital twins can support planning and operations when their data are current and their intended uses are clearly defined; they are less useful when models become isolated or outdated. Geospatial professionals contribute by providing location accuracy, context, and integration with wider geographic datasets.
