Windows Azure Marketplace DataMarket is a fairly simple premise.
- Enable content providers to more easily market and sell their services and data
- Allow data consumers to acquire simpler to use content from a single location
I pulled this from the Windows Azure Marketplace DataMarket whitepaper:
DataMarket helps simplify all the steps associated with discovering, exploring, and acquiring information.
Content providers get:
- Easy publication of data.
- A scalable Microsoft cloud computing platform that handles delivery, billing, and reporting.
Developers get:
- Trial subscriptions that let you investigate content and develop applications without paying data royalties.
- Simple transaction and subscription models that support pay as you grow access to multi-million-dollar datasets.
Information workers get:
- Simple, predictable licensing models for acquiring content.
The Code Project also just kicked off their Windows Azure Marketplace DataMarket contest .
