The proliferation of digital technologies in the distribution of digital content has prompted concerns about the effects on cultural diversity in the digital era. The concept of discoverability has been presented as a theoretical tool through which to consider the likelihood that content will be interacted with. The multifaceted nature of this broad theme has been explored through a variety of domains that explore the ripple effects of platformization, each with its own unique lexicography. However, there is yet to be a unified framework through which to consider the complex pathways of discovery. In this work we present the discovery ecosystem, consisting of six individual, interconnected components, that encompass the pathway of discovery from start to finish

翻译：数字技术在数字内容分发中的广泛应用引发了人们对数字时代文化多样性影响的担忧。可发现性概念已被提出作为一种理论工具，用以考量内容被用户接触的可能性。这一广泛主题的多维特性已通过多个研究领域得到探索，这些领域分别考察平台化带来的连锁效应，并各自拥有独特的术语体系。然而，目前尚缺乏一个统一框架来系统分析复杂的发现路径。本研究提出由六个相互关联的独立要素构成的发现生态系统，该体系完整涵盖了从起始到终结的发现路径全过程。
