Marketplace taxonomy

DOME can manage different types of marketplaces:

•          Pure Independent Marketplaces: These are marketplaces that primarily focus on selling services offered by others. Examples of pure independent marketplaces include DAWEX and Engineering's Cloudesire. They provide a platform where various service providers can showcase and sell their offerings to customers.
•          Marketplaces Based on Cloud Infrastructure Providers: Some marketplaces are built upon specific cloud infrastructure providers. These marketplaces offer services that rely on the underlying infrastructure of a particular cloud provider. Examples of such marketplaces include IONOS and OutScale, which sell services that utilize the infrastructure provided by their respective cloud platforms.
•          Platform-Based Marketplaces: These marketplaces are connected to integration platform providers and are designed to accelerate the delivery of applications in specific vertical domains. They serve as a hub for integrating and delivering solutions developed by third parties within a particular industry or domain. Examples include marketplaces catering to smart cities, energy, smart farming, industry 4.0, and more. Through these marketplaces, users can select and integrate various smart solutions developed by third-party providers.
•          In summary, within the DOME ecosystem, federated marketplaces can be categorized as pure independent marketplaces, marketplaces based on cloud infrastructure providers, or platform-based marketplaces. Each type of marketplace offers unique services and focuses on different aspects of the cloud service market.
