Data Marketplace Capabilities

In a recent post, I described what a Data Marketplace is (e.g. an online portal or website where data can be easily found and shared)

Since then I have been working with a company to create "a consolidated market place for multiple data sources specifically targeted for the transportation and mobility market"
https://www.smartpassenger.co.uk/

I therefore thought it would be useful to map out the capabilities a data marketplace would have.

These capabilities are generic descriptions of key features you could expect to see in any Data Marketplace, regardless of the sector or industry vertical the platform was found.
