When the goods are informational, they are known as information activity maps. An arrow between a pair of agents indicates an exchange of goods as well as the direction of this exchange; the arrows are labelled with a description of the goods exchanged. When the goods are information based, they are often labelled as medium: content to denote information content in some medium. Labels are typically prefixed with numbers, which indicate the sequence of an exchange.
