Researchers have developed a method to ensure the validity of mappings between different ontologies, crucial for creating connected digital twins. They applied this method to the Information Exchange Standard (IES), certifying crosswalks into thirteen ontologies. The study found that pairwise certification is insufficient for composing into a hub, as merging certified crosswalks revealed inconsistencies. Addressing these issues, including a homonym between IES and Brick notions of 'floor' and contradictions within core standards like Open Energy Ontology and BFO 2020, led to a coherent and conservative hub.
