SYSTEMATIC FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF DIGITAL PLATFORMS INTERDISCIPLINARY ETHICAL FRAMEWORK

Abstract

Digital tools now spread through schools, offices, data work, and team projects - calling for clearer ways to sort them beyond surface traits. Built on how they function, their design, how people interact, plus fairness in practice, this approach creates order. Not just grouped by name, but split into learning spaces, company systems, insight engines, shared workflows. Every type gets examined apart, revealing what works, where it falls short, when best used. A shift through stages defines how platforms grow, adjust. Proof shows clear categories help choices, stretch budgets further, link fields together - yet fairness matters, so rules follow ownership of information, clarity in automated logic, responsibility among those involved
