Tag: global information ecosystem


Wikipedia Entry: Information_ecology

Information ecology is the application of ecological concepts for modeling the information society. It considers the dynamics and properties of the increasingly dense, complex and important digital informational environment. "Information ecology" often is used as metaphor, viewing the information space as an ecosystem, the information ecosystem.

Information ecology also makes a connection to the concept of collective intelligence and knowledge ecology (Pór 2000). Eddy et al. (2014) use information ecology for science-policy integration in ecosystems-based management (EBM).
