N2 - The systematic engineering of Digital Twins (DTs) requires the establishment of clear methodologies supported by intelligent tooling. We propose an approach to guide the user in the creation and deployment of services for DTs utilizing ontologies and workflows. In our approach, the user selects a desired DT service from an array of options. This selection is then used to suggest a) enablers and models to place in the DT, and b) development and deployment workflows for the DT service. The aim is to provide DT engineering guidance to assist non-software engineering experts to develop DT services more rapidly with less effort. We describe our initial work on applying this approach to a derived version of an industrial wind turbine generator case study, utilizing openCAESAR for ontology definition and enacting the workflows with Jupyter notebooks.
