Becker J, Brelage C, Falk T, Thygs M

Abstract
The internet economy (IE) is inherently tied to information systems which are based on internet technology and standards. Every aspect and research issue in the IE should be investigated from technical, sociological and economical viewpoints in order to reflect the interdisciplinary nature of the IE holistically. The subproject “Modelling hybrid Information Systems”concentrates on methodical issues of the conceptual specification of hybrid information systems. In order to position the research subject web information systems within the research project, a conceptualization of such systems as well as their characteristics are developed within this report. The terminus hybrid web information system is decomposed into its parts,analyzed and integrated into a holistic framework, that position it within well-known and widely accepted concepts respectively artefacts.
