This chapter begins the Introduction to Data Economics series and explores the roots of Data Economics: the growing need for the expansion of the language of expressing and communicating value to address the “big” challenges and opportunities we face, and by extension the need to expand the frameworks offered by the field of economics.

In “Chapter 2: Fundamental Concepts”, we outline and summarize the fundamental concepts driving Data Economics and the Lydion DEOS as a starting point for further exploration of Data Economics and Lydion technology, as other more advanced papers will often refer back to concepts first introduced in this paper.

In Chapter 3 of the Introduction to Data Economics series, we explore the “Mixed” and “Pure” Data Economies along with real-world examples for each type that help build intuitive understanding of Data Economic Frames and other key concepts.

Chapter 4 of Introduction to Data Economics dives deeper into the Fundamental Concepts introduced in Chapter 2 and explores such topics as Data Economic Frames, Data Asset Markets (DAMs) and their components, Data Economic Networks (DENETs).

Chapter 5 introduces the Lydion DEOS as an implementation of a Data Economics Operating System (DEOS) implementing the Data Economic concepts outlined in Chapters 1 to 4, and outlines the functions and methodology of the Lydion DEOS in implementing Data Economic Frames through Lydion DAMs (Data Asset Markets) and the Lydion DENETs (Data Economic Networks) that connect them.
