Abstract:
Data and data access are increasingly becoming a good to sell. This paper suggests a marketplace for data access applications where producers can offer data (access) and algorithms, while consumers can subscribe to both and use them. In particular, fine-grained controlled data access can be sold to several people with different Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and prices. A general architecture is proposed which is based upon the API management tool WSO2 to ease implementation and reduce effort. Indeed, API Management provides many features that are useful in this context, but also unveil some challenges. A deeper discussion explains the technical challenges and alternatives to combine API Management with user-specific filtering and control of SLAs.
