Business ecosystem formation ontological mechanism

\nThe goal of the work is to develop a scientifically based ontological mechanism for the formation of business ecosystems, the terminology of which has emerged as a result of the manifested basic principles of digital transformation of the economy, science and education. It is shown that these principles make it possible to determine the mutual influence of many more factors in the planning and management of business, including scientific and educational. In other words, there was an order to study both classical agricultural ecosystems and the transfer of natural ecosystem mechanisms to the functioning of economic systems, which, together with the possibility of integrating environmental factors and taking into account their interrelationships in a digital economy, led to the emergence of such research areas in the field of ecosystems as business ecosystems. The above principles have led to the development of mechanisms for the integration of information resources not only within one industry, but also in most related industries, for which ontological modeling of their subject spaces should be carried out, the conceptual description of which has become significantly different over the years. Research in this area has been carried out using agriculture as an example, since it is one of the most powerful ecosystems in the classical sense and is closely related to a large number of other industries.\n
