Description
Large-scale sharing networks rely on digitally enabled platforms that connect users beyond the limits of social and geographical proximity. The phenomenon of the Digital Sharing Economy (DSE) embraces a broad diversity of sharing patterns. This paper aims to present an exhaustive classification of these patterns. It illustrates 5504 different sharing models that vary in the attributes of their fundamental business model components, i.e. the type of shareable resources, resource providers, resource receivers and sharing practices. This classification can be useful to characterize the DSE and visualize sharing and exchange patterns within its networks. In particular, the classification of digital sharing models can help platform providers position themselves in the broad spectrum of market and non-market-based sharing and tap into practicable business model innovations in the DSE domain.

5504 Sharing Patterns in the Digital Sharing Economy
Large-scale sharing networks rely on digitally enabled platforms that connect users beyond the limits of social and geographical proximity. The phenomenon of the Digital Sharing Economy (DSE) embraces a broad diversity of sharing patterns. This paper aims to present an exhaustive classification of these patterns. It illustrates 5504 different sharing models that vary in the attributes of their fundamental business model components, i.e. the type of shareable resources, resource providers, resource receivers and sharing practices. This classification can be useful to characterize the DSE and visualize sharing and exchange patterns within its networks.
