Abstract
Data items or data defining access to data items for provision to one or more users and respective service level data usable to determine a level of service to be provided to the respective users is maintained. Data items or data defining access to data items is received from users for provision to users and rating data is received from one or more users relating to data items provided to those users. Respective service level data for those users from which data items or data defining access to data items were received is changed in dependence upon received rating data relating to those received data items or data defining access to data items. Service is provided to a user in dependence on the service level data for that user.
Claims27
A data provisioning method, comprising the steps:
- storing data items or data defining access to data items for provision to users;
- maintaining, for one or more users, respective service level data usable to determine a level of service to be provided to the respective users;
- receiving data items or data defining access to data items from users for provision to users;
- receiving rating data from one or more users relating to data items provided to those users;
- changing the respective service level data for those users from which data items or data defining access to data items were received in dependence upon received rating data relating to those received data items or data defining access to data items;
- and
- providing service to a user in dependence on the service level data for that user.
A data provisioning system, comprising:
- a data store storing:
- i) data items or data defining access to data items for provision to users;
- and
- ii) for one or more users, respective service level data usable to determine a level of service to be provided to the respective users;
- data receiving means arranged in use to receive:
- i) data items or data defining access to data items from users for provision upon request to users;
- and
- ii) rating data from one or more users relating to data items provided to those users;
- and
- a processor arranged in use to perform the following steps:
- i) change the respective service level data for those users from which data items or data defining access to data items were received in dependence upon received rating data relating to those received data items or data defining access to data items;
- and
- ii) provide service to a user in dependence on the service level data for that user.

- and
- providing service to a user in dependence on the service level data for that user,
- wherein each data item or set of data defining access to a data item has a property having a value, and the service level data comprises a content access value relating to the property, wherein the servicing step comprises determining a sub-set of the data items or data defining access to data items in dependence on the respective values, and providing the sub-set to the requesting user.
