In one embodiment, techniques are provided for aligning source infrastructure data to be compatible with a conceptual schema (e.g., BIS) implemented through an underlying database schema (e.g., DgnDb). Data aligned according to the conceptual schema may serve as a “digital twin” of real-world infrastructure usable throughout various phases of an infrastructure project, with physical information serving as a “backbone”, and non-physical information maintained relative thereto, forming a cohesive whole, while avoiding unwanted data redundancies. Source-format-specific bridge software processes may be provided that that know how to read and interpret source data of a respective source format, and express it in terms of the conceptual schema. The aligned data may be sent to an update agent that interprets the aligned data and computes a changeset therefrom, which may be stored for eventual application to a particular instance of a database maintained according to an underlying database schema of the conceptual schema. 1. A method for incrementally aligning infrastructure data to be compatible with a digital twin of real-world infrastructure , comprising:reading, by a bridge software process executing one or more electronic devices, using an access library or application, source data of an infrastructure description from one or more external databases or source files that has changed since a last alignment;aligning, by the bridge software process, the changed source data with a conceptual schema that describes the digital twin using a set of elements, aspects, models and relationships, the aligning to at least generate new elements, models or aspects, or create new relationships that relate elements, models or aspects;based on the aligned changed source data, computing, by an update agent of the bridge software process, a changeset that updates an instance of a database maintained according to an underlying database schema of the conceptual schema to transition the ...
