Data Ecosystem Leading Section


 * Heading: The introductory heading should not be the "Article Draft", and the leading topic can be "Definition".


 * "A data ecosystem refers to the complex environment of co-dependent networks and actors that contribute to data collection, transfer and use [1]. They can span across sectors - such as healthcare or finance, to inform one another's practices [2]"

o The definition is good. How is the data ecosystem fundamental and crucial in various fields? (general), like the functions and values.

o The way how to "inform one another's practices", and on what platforms? (infrastructures?) It would help if you had more explanation/clarification. The sentence is a little unclear to understand the roles and functions. I suggest not using "They" at the start of a sentence, and it is clearer to state the subject.


 * As mentioned before, it is helpful to narrow down the data ecosystem's concept to become more specific with sections like potential fields or areas (business, society, technology…), and history/evaluation of the data ecosystem.


 * “Research into data ecosystems has developed in response to the rapid proliferation and availability of information through the Web, which has contributed to the commodification of data [1]”.

o What does the commodification of data mean and its implications?

Body/Structure

What Are Data?


 * The data definition is primarily based on science (computing) definition, and you may also include data as a set of information containing facts, statistics, and value. Define data as a general concept and link data to the data ecosystem.

Defining a Data Ecosystem


 * You have already defined the concept at the introduction section, and it is better to introduce building a data ecosystem with the processes and influences.

Mapping a Data Ecosystem


 * There is much information to discuss mapping a data ecosystem about the process, how to generate data, purposes, platforms, etc. Mapping a data ecosystem can be used in different areas/fields.

Data Assemblage


 * You may expand more on this concept, like the properties of data assemblage. How is data assemblage crucial for the data ecosystem (functions and roles)? What types of data are involved in data assemblage?


 * The data assemblage is better to belong in a broader section, such as the key elements section, and data assemblage is a subsection linking to the data ecosystem.


 * I suggested you should research more about the concept, like more references.

Open Data & Big Data


 * This section is quite incomplete, which is a little unclear for me to follow the concept. Is this section belong to data assemblage or open data ecosystem & Big Data Ecosystem?


 * To clarify the concept's structure, the section can be named "Types of Data Ecosystem". This section can be divided into a few subheadings that introduce open data ecosystem and big data ecosystem with definitions, components, influence, implications & implements, etc. (May also break into small sections).


 * A limitation/challenge section is needed for your article to discuss the potential limitations to conclude your article, how constraints and restrictions may influence the data ecosystem, and further possible improvements based on the researched findings.

Visualization


 * The first photo may be more specific to the data ecosystem definition to demonstrate the relationship of data.


 * Please check the position of your second picture in the right part of the reference section; the graph is better placed around the specific content and supports the concept.


 * The graphic description is further needed on how it relates to the concept with a brief overview.

References


 * Good reference list and citation in your article, but you made an error about "Kitchin, Rob (2014)", and you may need to edit the reference based on the instructive assistance.


 * The textbook introduces the data ecosystem that you may use as a fundamental and essential reference for expanding and developing the concept.

Final Comments:

This article draft is an excellent start for your article with good structures and images, Kaitlin. I made some comments and suggestions based on my perspectives and understanding of the data ecosystem, and I hope the feedback is helpful. Please let me know if anything needs to be clarified!
