The DX Network is a protocol to standardise the exchange of structured data by creating domain-specific data marketplaces. Each marketplace is defined by a data model specified in OWL and enables data owners and consumers to sell/buy data from each other programmatically. The first marketplace on the DX Network allows for the exchange of structured data about technology companies, products, news, investors and investments.
