Datasphere
open-in-new
<p>The datasphere is a multidisciplinary concept that first appeared in the 1980s. While many terms have been adopted to describe the digital world – terms such as the <a href="/facts/Internet/Xw1rVvJU">Internet</a>, <a href="/facts/Cyberspace/1q9NvuHv">cyberspace</a>, <a href="/facts/Metaverse/u9xsly5w">metaverse</a> – the various concepts of the datasphere seem to address the growing dependency of human activities on data, as well as approach the digital world in a holistic manner. Related terms include <a href="/facts/Data_economy/lb3Gk0Ta">data economy</a>, <a href="/facts/Data_governance/nt0J5rgc">data governance</a>, <a href="/facts/Data_commons/h9695bNE">data commons</a>, and <a href="/facts/Data_management/Cykeqxc7">data management</a>. </p>
