The IXO Spatial Web platform implements a whole-systems approach in which each physical or conceptual entity is represented as a Digital Twin Domain within a graph of inter-connected domains. Clean cooking systems serve as a practical example throughout this guide.

​
Digital Twin Domains

Different classes of entities have unique configurations of properties. For instance, an Organisational Domain always contains Membership Groups as Sub-domains.

​
Canonical Domain Classes

Physical Twins

Digital representations of physical devices and sensors (e.g., cooking stoves, IoT monitors, and tracked inventory)

Cognitive Twins

Digital models of organizational structures (e.g., projects, funders, distribution agents)

Twin Systems

Digital representation of the networks of relationships and interactions between real-world entities

Oracle Twins

AI-enabled agentic services performing evaluations, verification, and intelligent automations

Entity Relationships

​
Using Protocols

Protocols are templates that define standard properties and relationships for specific entity types. They can be customized for any domain.

​
Protocol Structure

{
  "type": "Protocol",
  "properties": {
    "metricOne": "string",
    "metricTwo": "number",
    "measurements": "object"
  },
  "relationships": {
    "verifier": "OracleEntity",
    "operator": "OrganizationEntity"
  }
}
