DataMarket Inverses Payment Model, Adds Features
Icelandic startup DataMarket announced it is flipping around their payment model and adding new features. Instead of charging the end user who receives the large datasets, the company is instead targeting subscription plans at data publishers. Clearly DataMarket is providing enough value to corporate and academic interests, and is selling enough access to premium datatsets if they think this is the best way forward.
DataMarket Connects Users To Big Datasets
Anyone who's had to dig for a serious dataset knows it's not always easy to find what you're looking for, even if you know it's out there and is offered for free. DataMarket out of Iceland offers 100 million time series from wide range of public and private data providers, including the United Nations, the World Bank, Eurostat, and the Economist Intelligence Unit. The portal allows all this data to be searched, visualized, compared, and downloaded in a single place in a standard, unified manner. I'm looking at this from the perspective of a university student, but DataMarket is also geared towards business users to find and efficiently publish their data and reach new audiences.
DataMarket Expands Horizons: Adds 100 Million Time Series, 600 Million Facts
After launching last year, DataMarket stepped into the web space as an important place to help one find essential figures and structured data from public and private services achieved another milestone today. DataMarket shared news on inclusion of more data and facts in a bid to become the Wikipedia of World Facts.
DataMarket Helps You Find Important Figures
Datamarket is a new Icelandic startup that has just launched their service - a website that gives people access to structured data from private and public data sources. At the moment, they have data only available from Iceland, but they are looking to expand to other countries and areas as well. They have 6 employees and the company was founded in June 2008. The service took 18 months of development before they were able to launch.
