Imagine a digital vending machine for data where everything is handled automatically. It helps sellers describe their data, sets a fair price based on the market, and ensures the buyer follows the rules without needing a lawyer for every transaction. It even calculates the carbon footprint of the data move, like a nutrition label for the environment.
Companies struggle to monetize data because they lack trust, fair pricing mechanisms, and automated ways to enforce usage rules. This creates a barrier to entering the multi-billion dollar data marketplace.
A suite of 12 functional plugins for data marketplaces, including tools for pricing, privacy, auditing, and carbon footprint calculation. It also includes a defined MVP architecture and a legal requirements report.
If you are a municipal government dealing with sharing city data with private firms — this project developed auditing and privacy plugins that ensure compliance with legislation. This allows you to automate data exchange while keeping citizen information safe.
If you are a machine learning startup dealing with the need for high-quality training data without owning it — this project developed a Federated Machine Learning plugin. This allows you to train models collaboratively without ever needing to move or share the raw data.
If you are an ESG reporting firm dealing with measuring the digital impact of data flows — this project developed an Environmental Impact plugin. This calculates the carbon footprint of datasets and workflows to meet green reporting standards.
The project includes a Pricing plugin that suggests prices for data products based on current market information to ensure dynamic and fair pricing.
Based on available project data, the system is designed as a set of universal plugins deployable across a variety of different data marketplaces and platforms.
Based on available project data, the project provides a transferability framework and best practices to help SMEs and administrations deploy the technology, though specific license types are not listed.
The system uses an Auditing plugin to ensure compliance with legislation and contractual agreements, supported by a dedicated legal framework developed in WP1.
The project focuses on creating universal plugins and a Data Integration plugin specifically to simplify the process of combining data from various sources.
The consortium is heavily industry-driven with 13 industrial partners, representing a 68% industry ratio. This strong commercial presence, including 5 SMEs across 11 countries, suggests the project is focused on commercial viability and practical application rather than purely academic research.
