Abstract

Digital worlds on the World Wide Web (and elsewhere) in all their shapes and forms have gained greater momentum. This becomes evident from new terms in the general computer science discourse: digital libraries, digital communities, virtual worlds, and virtual reality. We believe, however, that an understanding of the requirements of digital worlds cannot be detached from a specific kind of subjective stance since digital worlds are necessarily digital information environments. This kind of subjectivity is indicated by the word "environment".
