1. A method for configuring an observable object as a digital twin in a digital twin system of a domain, the method comprising:
defining a purpose for expressing the observable object as a digital twin in the domain;
organizing data based on roles of the observable object in the domain;
receiving information about a digital twin of the observable object that exists in other domains in which the observable object performs a different role;
configuring the observable object into the digital twin based on the data for the purpose;
interworking with a digital twin system of each of other domains in which the observable object performs a different role; and
synchronizing the observable object and the digital twin; and
maintaining the digital twin for observable object between the plurality of domains in the same state,
wherein the configuring the observable object into the digital twin includes generating a digital twin having different characteristics from those of other domains to fit a purpose and roles specified in the domain for the observable object,
wherein the role represents an execution function for a behavioral action to achieve the purpose.
