• Abstract: Digital Twin in construction and the built environment have started to attract the attention of researchers and practitioners in recent times. Its anticipated value proposition is focussed on its capability of generating new understanding and insights into an asset at all stages of its life cycle, exploiting diverse data sets from a multitude of sources and professions, in real or near real-time. However, there is still a significant debate about the delineation (i.e. communalities and differences) between digital twin and other related concepts, particularly Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). To date, this debate has been confined to social media discussions, insights blogs and position papers. This paper addresses this challenge using a systematic review. The aim is to investigate communalities and differences between the three concepts, Digital Twin, BIM and CPS. The results of this paper are expected to foster the discussion around this theme within construction and the built environment.

  The concept of digital twins has attracted significant attention across various domains. However, there is a sheer volume of definitions and the terminological consensus remains out of reach. We employed Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques to extract and analyze definitions of digital twins from a corpus of 15,000 full-text articles.
