THE GLOBAL MARKETPLACE FOR SENSOR DATA

INFORMATION FOR PROSPECTIVE PILOT TESTERS

Bringing Curation & New Revenue Streams to the IoT

TERBINE IS THE FIRST GLOBAL MARKETPLACE FOR SENSOR DATATHE INTERNET OF THINGS IS GENERATING DATA OF MANY TYPES & FORMATS AT A STAGGERING RATE

By linking data streams into Terbine, organizations can have their sensor datasets curated in a frictionless manner with rapidly searchable indices, accessible via human interfaces and a rich API suite

Terbine is designed to curate sensor data on a very large scale, bringing in potentially billions of datasets generated by millions of sensor-variants and file-variants

Not simply a website with a database attached, all aspects of Terbine have been carefully designed to track and protect ownership rights. Such as regulatory issues, international handling matters, and a myriad of other factors

CURATION & MONETIZATION OF IOT DATATERBINE MAKES YOUR SENSOR DATASETS EASILY ACTIONABLE & MONETIZABLE

The potential for revenue-generation from sensor datasets is new and virtually unlimited

The Terbine Marketplace system provides a trusted means to share sensor datasets within organizations, with trading partners and independent third parties for revenue.

When datasets are procured, Terbine charges buyers and provides payment to the submitting organization.

Now investments in IoT solutions and infrastructure can be monetized readily using a methodology controlled by the submitting organization.

WHAT IT IS, AND IS NOTTHE TERBINE MARKETPLACE IS FOCUSED ON SENSOR/IOT DATA

Submitted files or streams must represent sensor information, no Personal Identifying Information (PII) or imagery is accepted

Sensor datasets representing almost any physical-world attributes and readings can be ingested

Datasets or streams can be submitted and retrieved via GUI or API access

Provenance is tracked within Terbine metadata, allowing nested chains of rights, licensing and payments

The system is intended for use by organizations vs. individuals, where organizations can assign users and roles

7

HOW TERBINE WORKSBRINGING SENSOR DATA INTO THE MARKETPLACE SYSTEM

The Terbine system auto-generates metadata and indices for submitted datasets and streams, making them rapidly searchable and retrievable

Once an organization has set up an account and the account has been validated, dataset or stream ingestion can be performed

Prior to enabling data ingestion, the user sets up metadata configurations which pertain to any number of datasets or streams, which can be copied as needed to create metadata descriptions for similar datasets

Policies can be set for any number of datasets or streams, configuring what type of organizations can retrieve the data, to include regional, legal and other parameters

Datasets can be uploaded manually via the Terbine GUI, however it is assumed that once operating, the majority of data will be submitted via the Terbine API or an “Ingestion Adapter” supporting an IoT data platform or service

HOW TERBINE WORKSFINDING AND RETRIEVING SENSOR DATA VIA THE MARKETPLACE SYSTEM

Unique identifier strings are auto-generated pointing to the selected datasets or streams, and if designated by the submitter via a policy configuration, a retriever-specific request may be sent to the submitter prior to allowing retrieval

Once a transaction is completed, credit for the datasets and/or streams is applied to the submitter’s account

Once an organization has set up an account and the account has been validated, dataset or stream searching can be performed

Sensor information can be searched for and selected via the Terbine GUI and/or API, then filters can be applied to narrow results

If required by the submitter, a credentialing token will be issued for use by the retriever in accessing the

files or streams

Where payment is required, billing is handled via the system using

information associated with the submitter’s and receiver’s accounts, and if exceeding user-set limits, the retriever will be asked to authorize the transaction prior to permitting

access to the given data

THE BUSINESSTERBINE SUPPORTS PROFIT AND NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS

If a given dataset contains multiple sub-owners, as tracked within the associated metadata, payments may be routed to the different parties as appropriate

The Terbine Marketplace architecture allows for blanket or dynamic pricing of data, based on a range of determining factors

When a given dataset or stream is paid for, Terbine receives a percentage and sends funds to the submitter

The powerful curation attributes provided by Terbine can be utilized by universities and

research organizations as a frictionless means to make their datasets known to a global audience

Data analytics firms can leverage the rich provenance-tracking features of Terbine to

retrieve data, process it into new data products and submit them into the

Marketplace for sale

Using Terbine’s policy engine, a submitting organization can

designate all or some datasets for retrieval by bonafide educational

institutions at no cost

HOW TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PILOT TESTTERBINE IS OPEN FOR TRIAL WITH YOUR ORGANIZATION’S SENSOR DATA

Throughout Q1 of 2016, Terbine is offering organizations the opportunity to participate in the pilot testing of the innovative Terbine Marketplace system, among the world’s first data marketplaces

Contact Terbine via}this form or email to pilot@terbine.com with information about what sensor data you have available

Terbine will ingest your datasets, generate metadata and indices

which you can view and retrieve via the Terbine GUI and/or API

Datasets can remain in the system indefinitely, making

them accessible for paid retrieval once the

Marketplace is launched

The Terbine Metadata Specification can be downloaded here
