However, as we enter the 4th industrial age, non-material assets, that is information, knowledge, and data rather than existing material assets are recognized as the most important resources. In particular, data is called “the crude oil of the 4th industrial age” and has become a basic resource for all 4th industries such as big data and artificial intelligence (AI). Efficient sharing of basic resources is a prerequisite for the affluent growth of industry and society. We believe that it will be possible to achieve data democracy for individuals, businesses, and society as a whole through the establishment of a decentralized IoT ecosystem.

In the Web 3.0 ecosystem, these platforms are built as decentralized systems rather than centralized ones. We aim to build a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) type trading platform where decisions about platform operations, such as measuring the value of data, delivering, and setting transaction fees, are not made by specific centralized companies or agencies. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://ontactprotocol-team.gitbook.io/ontactprotocol_en/ontact-protocol-solution/the-concept-of-development.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
