Abstract
Systems and methods for data brokering, and more specifically, data brokering regarding a data provider's search-related activities, are described. In particular implementations, various aspects of facilitating a compensation arrangement between a data provider and a data consumer regarding one or more data-provider-related search activities are described.
Claims77
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- facilitating a compensation arrangement between a data provider and a data consumer regarding one or more data-provider-related search activities, wherein the facilitating is at least partially performed by a data broker, wherein the data broker performs an analysis to determine a potential value of data, wherein the potential value includes a time value of the data, wherein the data includes the data requested by the data consumer from the one or more data-provider-related search activities, and wherein the facilitating is at least partially implemented using one or more processing devices.
A system, comprising:
- circuitry for facilitating a compensation arrangement between a data provider and a data consumer regarding one or more data-provider-related search activities, wherein the facilitating is at least partially performed by a data broker, wherein the data broker performs an analysis to determine a potential value of data, wherein the potential value includes a time value of the data, wherein the data includes the data requested by the data consumer from the one or more data-provider-related search activities, and wherein the circuitry for facilitating is at least partially implemented using hardware.
A non-transitory signal-bearing medium bearing one or more instructions that, when executed by an executing component, perform a method comprising:
- facilitating a compensation arrangement between a data provider and a data consumer regarding one or more data-provider-related search activities, wherein the facilitating is at least partially performed by a data broker, wherein the data broker performs an analysis to determine a potential value of data, wherein the potential value includes a time value of the data, wherein the data includes the data requested by the data consumer from the one or more data-provider-related search activities.
A system, comprising:
- an executing component;
- a memory operatively coupled to the executing component;
- and
- an arrangements component accessible by the executing component, the arrangements component operable to facilitate a compensation arrangement between a data provider and a data consumer regarding one or more data provider-related search activities, wherein the facilitate is at least partially performed by a data broker, wherein the data broker performs an analysis to determine a potential value of data, wherein the potential value includes a time value of the data, wherein the data includes the data requested by the data consumer from the one or more data-provider-related search activities.
