  • Cyber-IR Domain, defined as the intersection of international relations and cyberspace and consists of the key layers of the Internet and the levels of analysis in international relations – and their intersection.
     
  • Governance & Institutions, represents the supportive properties and mechanisms that buttress the Cyber-IR reality. These mechanisms of governance are designed to stabilize societies.
     
  • Conflict & War, captures the multiple pressures and threats that can result in social damage & fundamental destruction.
     
  • Cybersecurity & Sustainability capture cyber-driven threats, modes of response & their various features, as well as the support for & threats to system stability & resilience over time.

Recall the four dimensions for each domain.

This guide presents the ontology at high levels of aggregation for each of four system-domains. This view highlights only the first and second levels of the concept hierarchy for each domain beyond the basic dimension definition.
