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 .
