Information system ecology: An application of dataphoric ascendancy

Highlights：

• A biologically-stylized theory of data and the information system.

• Utilizing ecological concepts such as dominance, diversity and uniformity.

• Inception of dataphoric research ontology grounded in the Theory of Dataphoric Space.

• Creation of information system data species via diversity, dominance and uniformity.

• Dataphoric stability patterns of a dataphora that are measurable and predictive.

• We find support for a Theory of Dataphoric Ascendancy.
