This seminar paper examines and defines digital assets and builds a taxonomy that categorizes these assets.
Therefore, it also explains, besides digital assets, belonging terms such as blockchain and tokenization. Through all the characteristics that arise, it can classify the objects within dimensions by using the Nickerson method. It describes in detail all required steps that are needed in seven iterations.
To present the result more clearly, a cluster analysis is performed. The final taxonomy grants users’ access to reliable and meaningful data, to categorize digital assets themselves, or to gather desired information. In addition, the paper compares the taxonomy with another one to show possible strengths and defects.

Zielsetzung und Themenschwerpunkte (Objectives and Key Themes)
This seminar paper aims to define digital assets and develop a taxonomy to categorize them. It explores the concepts of blockchain and tokenization in relation to digital assets. The paper uses the Nickerson method to classify digital assets into different dimensions, outlining the necessary steps involved in the process. It presents a cluster analysis to visually represent the resulting taxonomy. The paper aims to provide users with a reliable and meaningful tool for classifying digital assets and gathering information. It also compares the developed taxonomy with existing ones to identify potential strengths and weaknesses.
