The emergence of Application Service Providers (ASP) hosting Internet-based data mining services is being seen as a viable alernative for organisations that value their knowledge resources but are constrained by the high cost of data mining software.The current modus operandi for data mining ASPs does not represent a true marketplace environment characterised by open competition.We have developed an XML specification language to enable interactions between clients and service providers in a virtual marketplace environment.In this paper we present this language and discuss how it supports processes such as matching, ranking and negotiation in a virtual marketplace.We also present the design and implementation of our prototype systems.
