The concept: "SUSTAINABLE DIGITAL ECOSYSTEM" The Principle of Digital Ecology can be summarized in the following seven points:
( Source EPR-forum ) "Digital Ecosystems inherit concepts of open, loosely coupled, demand-driven, domain clustered, agent-based self-organized collaborative environment where species/agents form a temporary coalition (or longer term) for specific purposes or goals. Within this environment every agent is proactive and responsive for their own benefit or profit. The essence of Digital Ecosystems is inspired by ecological and biological system concepts, and creating value by making connections through collective intelligence and promoting collaboration instead of unbridled competition and IT-based catalyst effects in a number of domains, to produce networked enriched communities, humanities and societies."
