Data Assets as Digital Assets in Web3
Wei‐Tek Tsai, Dong Yang · 2024
Recently data assets and digital assets have received significantcant attention. Currently, data assets focus on the data aspects, but digital assets emphasize the asset aspects, thus they have different sets of technology with respect to protocols and infrastructure. This paper proposes to treat data assets as digital assets, and use new Internet protocols and infrastructure initially designed for digital assets for data assets. In this way, the tough problems of data assets can be addressed, and data assets and other digital assets can be treated in an uniform manner on the Web. By doing so, a new architecture is proposed for the next-generation Web (Web3), the new architecture DACS (Data, Applications, Computing Power, Segmentation) has many new features different from traditional Web2 features.
