Executive summary
The present document builds on previous STF 628 work ETSI TR 103 844 [i.9], ETSI TS 103 845 [i.10], ETSI
TS 103 846 [i.11] to guide the implementation of Digital Twins (DTs) within the oneM2M framework. It outlines the
key oneM2M features that meet specific requirements and demonstrates how oneM2M can support DTs across various
scenarios.
Key highlights include:
• Emphasis on modularity and adaptability to ensure interoperability across different platforms and
technologies.
• Practical examples illustrating oneM2M's capabilities in meeting Digital Twin requirements.
• Critical analysis identifying potential gaps in oneM2M, offering insights for future enhancements.
The present document aims to provide a comprehensive guide for effectively integrating Digital Twins into the
oneM2M ecosystem, promoting seamless IoT communication and functionality.

Introduction
The present document explores the insights and architectural foundations from ETSI TR 103 844 [i.9], ETSI
TS 103 845 [i.10] and ETSI TS 103 846 [i.11] and compares them to the features and capabilities offered by oneM2M.
It provides a guide for mapping Digital Twins (DTs) communication requirements to the oneM2M framework.
The present document emphasizes modularity and adaptability for communication, ensuring interoperability across
installations and platforms. It uses oneM2M's features to keep elements and information technology-agnostic,
minimizing the impact of evolving communication frameworks on DT information. The present document shows the
mapping of DT requirements to oneM2M features in clauses 4,5 and 6.
Additionally in clause 8, it provides practical examples of Digital Twins within the oneM2M context. These examples
show how oneM2M meets specific requirements, bridging the gap between concepts and real-w
