• Authors: Santiago Andr\'es Azcoitia, Costas Iordanou, Nikolaos Laoutaris
• Abstract summary: We present a first of its kind measurement study of the growing Data Marketplace ecosystem. We show that the median price of live data products sold under a subscription model is around US$1,400 per month. For one-off purchases of static data, the median price is around US$2,200.

• Abstract: A large number of Data Marketplaces (DMs) have appeared in the last few years to help owners monetise their data, and data buyers fuel their marketing process, train their ML models, and perform other data-driven decision processes. In this paper, we present a first of its kind measurement study of the growing DM ecosystem and shed light on several totally unknown facts about it. For example, we show that the median price of live data products sold under a subscription model is around US\$1,400 per month. For one-off purchases of static data, the median price is around US\$2,200. We analyse the prices of different categories of data and show that products about telecommunications, manufacturing, automotive, and gaming command the highest prices. We also develop classifiers for comparing prices across different DMs as well as a regression analysis for revealing features that correlate with data product prices.

• Fairshare Data Pricing for Large Language Models [15.79368596445939]
  We propose a fairshare pricing framework that sets training data prices using data valuation methods to quantify their contribution to large language models (LLMs) We theoretically show that pricing derived from our framework is tightly linked to data valuation and buyers' budget, optimal for both buyers and sellers. Our framework lays the foundation for future research on equitable and sustainable data markets for large-scale AI.

  Growing trend of trading data for greater welfare has led to the emergence of data markets. A data market is any mechanism whereby the exchange of data products including datasets and data derivatives takes place. It serves as a coordinating mechanism by which several functions, including the pricing and the distribution of data, interact.

  We supply, to the best of our knowledge, the first open source simulation platform, Open SOUrce Market Simulator (OSOUM) to analyze trading markets and specifically data markets. We describe and implement a specific data market model, consisting of two types of agents: sellers who own various datasets available for acquisition, and buyers searching for relevant and beneficial datasets for purchase. Although commercial frameworks, intended for handling data markets, already exist, we provide a free and extensive end-to-end research tool for simulating possible behavior for both buyers and sellers participating in (data) markets.
