Digital Asset Ecosystems

Digital asset management is undergoing a fundamental transformation. Near universal availability of high-quality web-based assets makes it important to pay attention to the new world of digital ecosystems and what it means for managing, using and publishing digital assets. The Ecosystem of Digital Assets reflects on these developments and what the emerging ‘web of things’ could mean for digital assets. The book is structured into three parts, each covering an important aspect of digital assets. Part one introduces the emerging ecosystems of digital assets. Part two examines digital asset management in a networked environment. The third part covers media ecosystems. Looks to the future of digital asset management, focussing on the next generation web Includes up-to date developments in the field, crowd sourcing, and cloud services Details case studies to demonstrate how generic requirements are met in particular cases

"Crypto-Currency" (Digital Asset) technologies, currently including crypto-assets, crypto-currency, digital assets, coins, tokens, blockchain, distributed ledger, and decentralized networks, are affecting fundamental systemic change to world-wide transactional and financial systems. Digital Assets are a blend of technology and finance. Defining the Digital Economy is just a glimpse into possibilities this research uncovered to educate, provide insights, and clarify the Digital Assets and Digital Units operating in the Digital Economy.Defining the Digital Economy offers the methodologies that created the first reliable fundamental framework which identifies the Structure of the Digital Economy. The findings are a result of more than ten months of deep research and analysis of over 2500 Digital Assets in the worldwide exchange traded ecosystem during 2018. The book explores the methodologies behind creating the first functional fundamental extensible reproducible Digital Asset taxonomy with no outliers. The Digital Asset Sector Hierarchy - DASH offers the world, the financial services industry, and regulators first to market guidance and context about the Digital Asset ecosystem. The construct is the first reproducible framework to serve as the basis for Digital Asset financial services products and international regulatory guidance.The findings in Defining the Digital Economy include the identification and definition of four Digital Asset classes, an identifier without financial value, a new view of an economy, and offers granular fundamental economic analysis specifically designed for new and emerging Digital Asset technologies and ecosystems. Individuals, entities, institutions, and regulators can now frame coherent context against a reproducible construct to support seamless integration of these technologies into existing economic and regulatory infrastructures.The Structure of the Digital Economy in Focus. Presented in Defining the Digital Economy.

The chapters in the book focus on recent developments in the field of technological innovation and entrepreneurship. It is structured in three parts. The focus is on innovation and entrepreneurial ecosystems, digital technologies and innovation, as well as responses to pandemics resulting from external shocks.Carefully selected on the basis of relevance and rigor, the chapters in the book take the readers through various trending research topics.

The value of assets in the digital ecosystem has grown rapidly amid periods of high volatility. Does the digital financial system create new potential challenges to financial stability? This paper explores this question using the Federal Reserve's framework for analyzing vulnerabilities in the traditional financial system. The digital asset ecosystem has recently proven itself to be highly fragile. However, adverse digital asset market shocks have had limited spillovers to the traditional financial system. Currently, the digital asset ecosystem does not provide significant financial services outside the ecosystem, and it exhibits limited interconnections with the traditional financial system. The paper describes emerging vulnerabilities that could present risks to financial stability in the future if the digital asset ecosystem becomes more systemic, including run risks among large stablecoins, valuation pressures in crypto-assets, fragilities of DeFi platforms, growing interconnectedness, and a general lack of regulation.

As most institutions contemplate an enterprise digital content strategy for a growing number of digitized surrogates and born-digital assets, libraries, archives, and museums understand that these expanding needs can only be met by more flexible approaches offered by a multicomponent digital asset management ecosystem (DAME).

Metaverse, Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), Cryptocurrencies, Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Service Robots etc. are a rapidly expanding field with an ever-increasing number of terms and community-specific jargon. A new term is not always accompanied by something truly novel. In addition to verbal "pseudo-innuendos" and "crypto-slang" introduced with the intent of attracting attention quickly, there are several significant new developments. The issue with this development is that the risk of "Babylonian language confusion" is growing exponentially. Our observations indicate that this risk is particularly prevalent in the dialogue between science and practice. This book hopes to contribute to the clarification with quick access to all key terms. Obviously, many online marketplaces, platforms, encyclopedias, and glossaries already exist. However, our pre-book analysis has revealed that neither is even close to completion, sometimes with imprecise language and often with contradictory definitions and explanations. This glossary provides quick access for managers, students, and professors alike who are faced with the topics in their daily work. Students may keep track of the web 3.0's numerous terms as they study it. Instructors, teachers, and professors may use it as a guide for a consistent use of Metaverse, NFT, Cryptocurrency, and Blockchain terminology. Although, the more than 1,300 explanations of the individual terms are scientifically based, the focus is on easy understanding of the terms. The authors have made an effort to provide clear and concise definitions, an application-focused perspective, and simple language.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the international workshops associated with the 35th International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering, CAiSE 2023, which was held in Zaragoza, Spain, during June 12-16, 2023. The workshops included in this volume are: · 1st International Workshop on Hybrid Artificial Intelligence and Enterprise Modelling for Intelligent Information Systems (HybridAIMS) · 1st Workshop on Knowledge Graphs for Semantics-Driven Systems Engineering (KG4SDSE) · Blockchain and Decentralized Governance Design for Information Systems (BC4IS and DGD) They reflect a broad range of topics and trends ranging from blockchain technologies via digital factories, ethics, and ontologies, to the agile methods for business and information systems. The theme of this year’s CAiSE was “Cyber-Human Systems”. The 10 full papers and 9 short paper presented in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 25 submissions.
