Abstract (EN): Digital Twin (DT) is recognized as a key enabling technology of Industry 4.0 and 5.0 and can be used in collaborative networks formed to fulfillment of complex tasks of the manufacturing industry. In the last years, the variety and complexity of DTs have been significantly increasing with new technologies and smarter solutions. The current definition of DT, such as cognitive, hybrid, and others, embraces a wide range of solutions with different aspects. In this sense, this article discusses DT definitions and presents a five-dimensional analytical framework to classify the different proposals. Finally, to better understand the proposal, we analyzed 12 articles using the analytical framework. We argue this research may help researchers and practitioners to better understand digital twins and compare different solutions. © 2023, IFIP International Federation for Information Processing.
