SEDIMARK offers the means to operate a decentralised marketplace for resources such as data, analytic services, and AI models. Resources are stored on edge systems, close to where they are generated, and undergo cleaning, validation, semantic annotation, and anonymisation before being securely and profitably exchanged through the marketplace.
The core components of SEDIMARK marketplace are available for download for free. This includes toolboxes for providers and consumers of the marketplace. The marketplace is meant to be replicated in different regions operated separately, in parallel, by interested organisations.
As an option, SEDIMARK partners, having the knowledge of the components, can provide support, maintenance, integration, and customization services, while the operator retains control of their marketplace.
Operating the marketplace provides you the possibility of promoting public services in your area of operation and ultimately improving your reputation. You will become a leader in providing access to valuable resources, models and datasets, and in promoting collaboration and transparency. You can also make more informed decisions based on the datasets and tools available in their marketplace.
In addition to the social benefits and reputational impact, the marketplace offers some possibilities for generating income and monetizing the investment. As operator you can explore direct revenue streams such as subscriptions fees, premium features, sponsorships) based on demonstrated value and impact. Once you have acquired knowledge of the components involved, you can also explore the possibility to offer a range of services to the marketplace participants:
SEDIMARK enables access to enriched datasets via standardised connectors aligned to EU Data Space principles. These connectors feed into a global catalogue of offerings, enabling secure and transparent exchange. Emphasis is placed on enriched and high-value datasets, especially edge-generated data combined with analytic services. Smart contracts and credentials ensure reliability, while clear access and usage terms (open/free vs. fee-based) make transactions predictable. Recommendation functions help consumers identify the most relevant datasets. Some datasets may remain open and free; others are available under defined terms of use, including fee-based access via the integrated token system. Combining datasets with marketplace analytics fosters a virtuous cycle of enrichment, yielding higher-value data products.
Beyond raw access, SEDIMARK integrates advanced AI-driven tools that support both consumers and providers in processing data and optimising models. Users can apply configurable pipelines for cleaning, normalisation, missing-value handling, filtering, labelling, semantic annotation, validation, and anonymisation. Processed data and resulting ML models can be shared back via the catalogue, creating a complete cycle of enrichment.
For providers, the marketplace creates new revenue streams by enabling secure, decentralised data monetisation. Providers define access rights and pricing models with smart contracts and tokens. Providers can register raw datasets, AI models, and services, as well as outputs from processing pipelines.
The marketplace thus ensures that both individual providers and entire sectors benefit from an evolving pool of assets.
