9 Incentivize the Upload of a NameSpace

Information modelling represents a valuable commodity for industrial applications, and while the Cloud Library creates an opportunity for re-use, it should not preclude monetization of the NameSpaces it makes available. The Cloud Library may be used in conjunction with an external marketplace that brokers access to downloads, as well as a mechanism for identifying, storing, presenting and requiring agreement to, appropriate licenses.

Common metadata fields should be considered for tagging and linking NameSpaces to facilitate search and discovery. Marketplace implementations may consider augmenting this base set of data to include popularity ratings, reviews, and curation information.
