networked information

Linked digital content

Networked information is data or content accessible through interconnected computer systems, particularly the internet.

The term emphasizes how information flows across networks rather than residing in isolated locations: Libraries now provide access to networked information resources worldwide.

The concept transformed research, commerce, and communication by making vast stores of knowledge instantly retrievable from anywhere with a connection.
