Abstract

This paper leverages web data management concepts to aggregate data generated in a B2B-centric WBC (B2B-WBC) model. We use algebraic signatures to formally specify components of the model to reduce system's complexity. We introduce the concept of reward and punishment to facilitate sustained interactivity, while organisations still maintain independent B2C-WBCs.
