- Life cycle
- Rate / volume of access
- Raw and metadata
- Complexity
- Volume
- Rate of growth
- Rate of schema change
- Potential benefits of linking with other communities
- ... and characteristics of their services and data
High complexity, dynamics, usage, desire to
interact suggest WS and SW could prove
valuable.
