[1] The term "Supranet" was originally defined as "a virtual network for a group on top of any integrated-services internetwork."
by Luca Delgrossi and Domenico Ferrari in 1997 during the 7th International Workshop on Network and Operating System Support for Digital Audio and Video (NOSSDAV).
"[3] Gartner later expanded the definition to include integrating Internet technologies, mobile communications, always-on connectivity, sensors, and human-computer interaction.
Another example of something that would qualify as a supranet is the Virtual Australia project, which creates a complete digital twin of the country, modeling everything from sky to bedrock including significant objects and their environment.
[5] The concept of Supranet continues to be discussed in the media, scientific research, and product development.
