Bisma Renata Artala, Bisma (author)The benefit of secondary use of data leads to the belief that data can be monetized through exchanging and trading between businesses. Many new data marketplaces emerge from this, resulting in the heterogeneity of the data marketplace that leads to market fragmentation in the industry. The aggregator business model can offer various values to...master thesis 2022
