Abstract

Digital ecosystems is a neoteric terminology and there are two major definitions about it respectively from Soluta.Net and from Digital Ecosystem and Business Intelligence Institute. In this paper, to solve the ambiguous problem in digital ecosystem´s definitions and to help researchers better understand what it is, by means of ontology, we propose a conceptual model to completely illustrate the concepts in digital ecosystem. By introducing a new ontology notation system, we deliver the digital ecosystem ontology, to well define the components and explain the relationships between these components. Finally we realize the ontology in Protege-OWL and conclude our future works in the field.
