There is no agreed-upon definition of the term "technological platform" within the broadest interpretation of it as a full set of technological means that enable creation of devices, processes, and technologies. Other terms to define the "set of technologies that have been developed for various applications but share a common underlying basic concept" include "technology platform", "technical platform", "common platform", and, for particular fields, "ecommerce platform", "IT platform". Business models of multiple companies, so called platform businesses or simply "platforms", are built around data aggregation and data processing algorithms. They include major technology companies like Google and Meta Platforms.
