Abstract
On the basis of introducing the metaverse and the digital economy and supporting the development trend of new technologies, the concept of service-to-service (S2S) ecosystem is defined. The metaverse is used to build a virtual digital world and link the physical world. This paper focuses on the connotation of the two words Meta and Verse of the metaverse, and proposes a management framework of metaverse resources (Non-fungible token, 3D space, experience, avatar, etc.) in scenarios that support interactions such as the management of work, life, transaction, and customers. Then the paper proposes a metaverse reference architecture (MRA) for systematically constructing metaverse solutions. Finally, this paper also looks forward to the future development trend of the metaverse.
