A Digital Twin Registry in Catena-X is a centralized system that maintains digital representations (or "digital twins") of physical assets, enabling businesses in the automotive supply chain to share, monitor, and update asset data securely and efficiently. It leverages submodels (Catena-X Submodel Services) to organize and manage specific aspects or attributes of assets, such as manufacturing data, lifecycle information, or quality metrics, allowing for modular and detailed insights.
The provider publicizes digital representations (digital twins) of the assets the participant has data on. This data is encapsulated in submodels accessible via instructions that a consumer will find in the Digital Twin Registry (DTR). The DTR contains only meta-data.

Data Standardization and Interoperability - Ensures data consistency and compatibility by using standardized submodels for seamless data sharing among partners.
Real-time Data Access and Updating - Allows for live updates and real-time access to asset data, ensuring up-to-date information is always available to authorized stakeholders.
