Abstract
Techniques for leveraging data in a data marketplace environment are provided. For example, a method comprises the following steps. A representation of one or more data valuations for a given data set is obtained. The representation of the one or more data valuations for the given data set is converted into a value for presentation to a data marketplace environment. The data marketplace environment comprises one or more data marketplace protocols that each enable one or more data consumers to obtain data. The method brokers a transfer of the given data set through at least one of the data marketplace protocols to at least one data consumer. The method manages transfer of the given data set to the at least one data consumer and receipt of a result of the transfer from the at least one data consumer.

- accessing an extensible data marketplace interface comprising an application programming interface operatively coupled to two or more plugin modules respectively corresponding to the two or more data marketplace environments, wherein the application programming interface is configured to abstract two or more disparate protocols for which the two or more plugin modules are respectively configured to enable connection to and interaction with the two or more data marketplace environments by converting a given data format of the extensible data marketplace interface to two or more data formats respectively associated with the two or more disparate protocols and by converting the two or more data formats respectively associated with the two or more disparate protocols to the given data format of the extensible data marketplace interface;
- determining relevance of the given data set for the given one of the two or more data marketplace environments based at least in part on passing at least a given portion of the metadata associated with the given data set stored in the distributed ledger to the application programming interface of the extensible data marketplace interface, the given portion of the metadata comprising types of sensor readings contained in the given data set, times at which the sensor readings contained in the given data set were captured, and locations at which the sensor readings contained in the given data set were captured;
- receiving, via a polling mechanism of the application programming interface of the extensible data marketplace interface, an indication of whether the given data marketplace environment has interest in the given data set;
- responsive to receiving an indication that the given data marketplace environment has interest in the given data set, determining, utilizing the data ownership keys, one or more owners of the given data set;
- and
- passing, via the application programming interface of the extensible data marketplace interface, information about the one or more owners of the given data set, the information about the one or more owners comprising respective cryptocurrency wallet configurations;
- generating one or more smart contract transactions for brokering a transfer of the given data set through at least one of the data marketplace environments to at least one data consumer utilizing the information about the one or more owners of the given data set;
- and
- managing, via the generated one or more smart contract transactions, the transfer of the given data set to the at least one data consumer and receipt of a result of the transfer from the at least one data consumer;
- wherein the steps are performed by at least one processing device comprising a processor and a memory.
