Methodology

Overall Approach

The development of the Citiverse Use Case Taxonomy followed a structured, multi-phase methodology designed to ensure
that the use cases identified are diverse, representative, and practically relevant for cities exploring the potential of virtual
world technologies.

Phase 1: The initial phase of the Use Case Taxonomy work track focused on collecting a broad range of use cases across 5
thematic areas.

Phase 2: To create a short list for each of the thematic areas of approximately 10 use cases, the use cases were assessed by

the working group using four core criteria validated by the broader Global Initiative on Virtual Worlds and AI Community:
alignment with SDGs, scalability, impact and feasibility. Each expert scored each of the 5 criteria from 1-10. Those with the
highest scores were then integrated into a short list for each thematic group; consideration was also given to ensure a diverse
range of case studies with coverage across key topics. It is these use cases that are presented within the Citiverse Use Case

Taxonomy.

Phase 3: A use case profile was then created for each use cases including aspects such as a use case description, case
study, horizon, risk, and technology mapping, key impacts, and alignment with SDGs. This methodology will highlight the

process for risk, horizon and technology mapping. A summary of the use case is presented in this document, the full use case
description is provided in: Citiverse Use Case Taxonomy Accompanying Document.
