A Theory of Information Trilogy: Digital Ecosystem Information Exchange Architecture

Information sharing is a critical component of distributed and multi-actor digital ecosystem (DE). DE actors, individuals organisations, require seamless, effective, efficient, secure architecture for exchanging information. Traditional point-to-point ad hoc integrations hinder the ability actors to do so. The challenge figuring out how enable information in complex DE. This paper addresses this important research proposes theory trilogy conceptual exchange architecture, which inspired by study nature flow matter, energy, its states natural ecosystems. work part large framework. scope limited emerging concept exchange. application demonstrated with help geospatial case example. results from can be used researchers practitioners defining as appropriate their context. also complements Shannon’s mathematical communication.
