Dutch term or phrase: informatiemaatschappij (in onderstaande betekenis)
Volgens het Juridisch Lexicon is 'information society' een correcte vertaling, ook als het gaat om een commerciele onderneming. Buiten de vertaling van het Nederlandse Burgerlijk Wetboek vind ik daar nochtans geen bevestiging van. Elk oorspronkelijk Engelstalig gebruik van 'information society', zoals door Unesco, is in een niet-commerciele betekenis van de maatschappij en niet een bedrijf dat informative verwerkt. Ik wilde daar graag opinies over.

Reference information:
I understand it, the term "informatiemaatschappij" never refers to a company in the BW texts, but to the society aspect. So when JurLex translates it as:

informatiemaatschappij = information society

As do FELOnline, and the Warendorf translation of the BW (which I also own), they are referring to the larger phrase:

"dienst van de informatiemaatschappij" or "diensten van de informatiemaatschappij"

Which is defined as:

"elke dienst die gewoonlijk tegen vergoeding, langs elektronische weg op afstand en op individueel verzoek van een afnemer van de dienst verricht wordt" (http://www.ejustice.just.fgov.be/cgi_loi/change_lg.pl?langua...

"4.3.1 Dienst van de informatiemaatschappij
De definitie van ‘dienst van de informatiemaatschappij’ is te vinden in artikel 3:15d lid 3 BW: “elke dienst die gewoonlijk tegen vergoeding, langs elektronische weg, op afstand en op individueel verzoek van de afnemer van de dienst wordt verricht zonder dat partijen gelijktijdig op dezelfde plaats aanwezig zijn”. Overweging 18 van de e-Commercerichtlijn maakt duidelijk dat ook activiteiten waarvoor afnemers niet betalen maar die wel een economische activiteit vormen (zoals online reclame) onder de definitie vallen.10" (http://www.debrauw.com/wp-content/uploads/NEWS - PUBLICATION...
