We have just presented some of the experiments that have been conducted to evaluate the relevance of the Knowledge Garden (KG) and consolidate the technical specifications that we will detail below (see section 5.2). This practical development has also enabled us to refine the theoretical principles that are at the heart of this ecosystem modeling platform, including the key concepts that are used when reflecting upon ecosystems:
the Spinozist proposals for an ethical ontology [DEL 01]; the ontological matrices of Philippe Descola [DES 05]; and the reflexive continuum inspired by Pedauque [PED 07]. We will first present the key concepts used in the contemplation of knowledge ecosystems before proposing a method for the modeling of information existences within these ecosystems.
