- This document is a result of the COOCK project "Smart Port 2025: improving and accelerating the operational efficiency of a harbour eco-system through the application of intelligent technologies". The project is mainly aimed at SMEs, but also at large corporations. Together, they form the value-chain of the harbour. The digital maturity of these actors will be increased by model and data-driven digitization. The project brings together both technology users and providers/integrators. In this report, the broad spectrum of model and data-based digitization approaches is structured, under the unifying umbrella of "Digital Twins". During the (currently quite ad-hoc) digitization process and in particular, the creations of Digital Twins, a variety of choices have an impact on the ultimately realised system. This document identifies three stages during which this "variability" appears: the Problem Space Goal Construction Stage, the (Conceptual) Architecture Design Stage and the Deployment Stage. To illustrate the workflow, two simple use-cases are used: one of a ship moving in 1 dimension and, at a different scale and level of detail, a macroscopic model of the Port of Antwerp.
