Environmental Digital Data Intelligence Engine (EDDIE)

A core software framework for creating analytical digital twins with automated environmental/geospatial data gathering, caching, updating, and processing. Modular plugins are developed to allow for complex models to be run on-demand, with all input data fetched automatically. This project started as the Flood Resilience Digital Twin (FReDT), which has now been split off into its own project while this contains the framework that FReDT is built upon.

EDDIE is used as the core framework for multiple environmental Digital Twins and data visualisation applications, including:

• Te Awarua Kai Ora
• Flood Resilience Digital Twin (FReDT) - GitHub
• Ōtākaro Digital Twin
• Carbon Neutral Neighbourhoods Dashboard

Basic running instructions

To use the library you must install it and use it as a framework within an application. Currently the best way to do this is by pip installing this github repository. Examples of using the library are best found within the FReDT repository. We aim to expand usage documentation in the near future.

Unsupported Operating Systems

We unfortunately do not support MacOS. Please see #358 for updates or to contribute.
