The outcome dimension refers to the degree to which knowledge sources (things andhumans) contribute to knowledge creation in IoE intelligent services. Relevant knowledge contributions from human or non-human enablers (sensors or actuators) either complement or substitute (or both in some cases) to provide improved outcomes reached through knowledge sharing processes.
– Complementing: Represents knowledge sharing between IoE sensors and actuators.
– Substituting: Provides insights and novel interpretation of reality to enhance thequality of life (livability), regarding knowledge acquisition as the “core element” andthe realization of “intelligence”.
