ABSTRACT

Digitalization of biological populations and ecosystems changes our relation towards them. In silico representations of natural systems make them available as resources that allow for novel ways of deriving economic value. These extracted data and models also open novel routes for responsible innovation based on biological systems and derived biological data. Responsible innovation based on natural resources is explored using the common pool resource framework and using the emerging field of biodiversity sequencing as an example. Natural syste­ms that have a vast digital representation which is shared by a community have aspects from both a natural resource commons and from a knowledge commons, but differ in their structure and dynamics. We therefore propose the concept of ‘Twin Commons’: the institutional arrangement of natural resources that have a tightly linked digital component which is shared and governed by a community, and that have research and innovation as important outlets.

摘要

生物种群和生态系统的数字化改变了我们与生物种群之间的关系。电脑自然系统的表示形式使它们可以作为资源使用，以新颖的方式获得经济价值。这些提取的数据和模型也为基于生物系统和衍生的生物数据的负责任创新开辟了新途径。使用公共资源库框架并以新兴的生物多样性排序领域为例，探索了基于自然资源的负责任创新。具有社区共享的大量数字表示的自然系统在自然资源共享和知识共享方面都具有不同的方面，但是它们的结构和动态是不同的。因此，我们提出了“双公地”的概念：自然资源的制度安排，其具有紧密联系的数字组成部分，由社区共享和支配，
