Data ecosystem
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A data ecosystem is the complex environment of co-dependent networks and actors that contribute to data collection, transfer and use.[1] They can span across sectors – such as healthcare or finance, to inform one another's practices.[2] A data ecosystem often consists of numerous data assemblages.[3] Research into data ecosystems has developed in response to the rapid proliferation and availability of information through the web, which has contributed to the commodification of data.[1]
