Pricing, trading and auditing

I、Introduction

In 2020, the government of China proposed to construct data factor market, ranking data as one of the five major product factors. However, different from other production factors that have relative fixed prices in a certain time or space, the same data is of various values for different users or applied conditions. It is necessary to establish a differentiated market-oriented pricing mechanism of data in order to take maximum value of it. At the same time, result from the specificity of data, special transaction methods are indispensable in the transaction process rather a simple transfer of ownership or use rights. Moreover, it is necessary to introduce a special audit mechanism with public trust to ensure the interests of each transaction party, which will be reflected in the final distribution of rights and interests. Participants are required to construct an application scenario using multi-party data, and develop reasonable data pricing scheme, audit mechanism of data transaction and facility to ensure that interests of all parties involved in the transaction are reasonably distributed.

Requirements
1. Based on the municipal data sets, participants shall select all or part of the data sets of social security, school, transportation, medical care, retirement, etc., to construct an application scenario. Then form an evaluation algorithm for the pricing of data factor in accordance to the contribution of the final output. The reasonability of the algorithm evaluation results can be audited by the data providers.
2. Design a reasonable transaction mechanism to prevent misappropriation or copying of the data from all parties. Under this mechanism, data use can be recorded and audited by all parties at any time as well.

Data Introduction
1. In this section, the relevant datasets are provided by the organizing committee. Participants are encouraged to refer to other public data resources as well to designing innovative project.
2. All data have been sampled and desensitized to protect privacy of users and data security.
3. Involving sensitive data, the reference data is allowed to be used in this competition only. Any data leakage or usage for other purposes is strictly prohibited.
