ISO/IEC TS 5928:2023 情報技術 — クラウド コンピューティングと分散プラットフォーム — デジタル プラットフォームの分類 | ページ 6

3.1.1

デジタルサービス

ネットワークを介した通信を含む、デジタル ハードウェアまたはソフトウェア テクノロジ、またはその両方によって一方の当事者が他方の当事者に提供するサービス

注記 1:この文書の文脈において、サービスは、クラウド・コンピューティング、エッジ・コンピューティング、またはその他の分散コンピューティング機能などの 1 つまたは複数のデジタル機能で構成されます。このようなサービスは契約の対象となり、通常はサービスの品質、利用規約、および使用条件が定義されています。

注記 2:クラウドサービス、エッジサービス、ネットワークサービス、ブロードキャストサービス、モバイルサービスはすべてデジタルサービスの一種である。このドキュメントではすべてのタイプについて説明しているわけではありません。

3.1.2

デジタルプラットフォーム

分散プラットフォーム

相関性と結合性のある デジタル サービスのセット (3.1.1)

注記 1: この文書に記載されているデジタル・プラットフォームは、他の参加者デジタル・サービスが顧客とビジネスを行うことを可能にし、支援する。これは、それらのサービスの多面的な市場を創出・促進するか、技術的な創造と運用を可能にすることによって行われる。それらのサービス、またはその両方。

注記 2: 「分散プラットフォーム」は、クラウド・コンピューティングの古典的なデータセンターを超えた、エッジ・コンピューティングやモバイル・コンピューティングなどのデジタル・サービスの要素を強調する同義語としてよく使用されます。

3.2.1

platform participant

<digital platform> party that makes use of or otherwise engages with a digital platform (3.1.2)

Note 1 to entry: A party can be an individual end user or organisation.

Note 2 to entry: A platform participant can be a member of one or more participant groups (3.2.2) .

3.2.2

participant group

group of platform participants (3.2.1) that share a common set of business requirements that differ significantly from the requirements of one or more other groups of platform participants (3.2.1)

Note 1 to entry: Participant groups are not specific to digital services, though they are essential for defining a multi-sided market such as a digital economic platform (3.4.2) .

Note 2 to entry: Examples of such participant groups include purchasers, vendors, and developers. Purchasers are platform participants seeking to acquire something, vendors are platform participants seeking to offer something, while developers are platform participants seeking to create and sell (or operate) software (or services). Thus, the members of each group have a common objective which is not shared with members of the other participant groups.

3.3.1

digital technology platform

<technology> digital platform (3.1.2) that provides engineering components required to support creation and deployment of applications and services

Note 1 to entry: Elements provided can include cloud computing resources (see ISO/IEC 22123 series), which can include execution environments, storage, networking, location and mapping services, graphics rendering and specialist processing (such as machine learning or quantum computing).

Note 2 to entry: Popular examples of such digital technology platforms include varieties of the cloud service categories “infrastructure capabilities type” and “platform capabilities type” (see ISO/IEC 22123-1).

Note 3 to entry: This definition is distinct from those in ISO/IEC TS 25025:2021 and ISO/IEC TS 25011:2017.

3.3.2

software development platform

digital technology platform (3.3.1) that enables or assists the development of software code

3.4.1

economic platform

<economics> set of services that provide market intermediation to reduce search or transaction costs

Note 1 to entry: Platforms are environments, computing or otherwise, that connect different groups and derive benefits from others participating in the platform.

Note 2 to entry: A shopping mall provides a non-computing economic platform, connecting merchants (participant group) with visiting customers (participant group) and providing distinct services to each participant group such as a pleasant environment, electricity, storage, parking, network connectivity, and security.

3.4.2

digital economic platform

<economics> one or more digital platforms (3.1.2) creating a multi-sided market, which provide goods, services or licensed rights to two or more distinct participant groups (3.2.2) who need each other in some way

Note 1 to entry: A digital economic platform is a subtype of both economic platform (3.4.1) and digital platform (3.1.2) .

Note 2 to entry: Examples of licensed rights can include the right to view a movie, to use commercial business data, or to use specific software, each delivered as a licence.

Note 3 to entry: While a digital economic platform is constructed with digital technology, often on top of a digital technology platform (3.3.1), this does not mean that the digital economic platform is a subtype of digital technology platform (any more than a car is a subtype of a road); these two terms are independent.

Note 4 to entry: A digital economic platform can optionally comprise more than one digital platform. For instance, an exchange platform can be combined with a payment platform and appear to the end-user as a single digital economic platform.

3.4.3

ad-funded platform

<economics> digital economic platform (3.4.2) where a platform generates revenue by charging advertisers to show advertisements to customers of the service

Note 1 to entry: Advertisers are one participant group, those who view the advertisements are a second, and those who display the advertisements alongside their own content are a third.

3.4.4

exchange platform

<economics> digital economic platform (3.4.2) which brings together vendors and potential purchasers and enables them to sell and buy goods and services, potentially generating value for the platform provider by intermediating the transaction

3.4.5

payment platform

<economics> digital economic platform (3.4.2) which facilitates the secure completion of payments between platform participants (3.2.1)

3.4.6

application marketplace

<economics> digital economic platform (3.4.2) where the platform provides means for software developers and publishers to provide applications to customers via the platform

Note 1 to entry: This document describes this concept in the economic platform domain. See also ISO/IEC 19944-1:2020, 3.2.2 for the definition in the device platform domain.
