Samenvatting

Overall lessons learned in Interet as Datasource (IaD):

• IaD helps in signaling new trends, developments and phenomena
• Mix of IaD methods applied will vary widely between markets and industries
• The notion of digital footprints is not limited to digitalized products and services, but
  applies to a wider set of markets and industries
• Information on goods and services represents an economic value in itself
• Industry itself has already started to mine digital footprints
• Markets associated with the emerging digital economy are more fuzzy and diffuse
• In some markets user generated content (already) starts to mix with traditional economic production (online music, internet TV, housing) _ barriers between the social and economic realm are blurring (SNS, C2C marketplaces)
• Technical and practical availability of digital sources for third parties may differ considerably
• Added value of using IaD may be higher in newly developing markets
• IaD can shed light on the darker side or grey zone of the emerging digital economy
