Providing data as a service has not only fostered the
access to data from anywhere at anytime but also reduced the
cost of investment. However, data is often associated with various
concerns that must be explicitly described and modeled in order
to ensure that the data consumer can find and select relevant
data services as well as utilize the data in the right way. In
particular, the use of data is bound to various rules imposed by
data owners and regulators. Although, technically Web services
and database technologies allow us to quickly expose data sources
as Web services, until now, research has not been focused on the
description of data service concerns, thus hindering the discovery,
selection and utilization of data services. In this paper, we analyze
major concerns for data as a service, model these concerns, and
discuss how they can be used to improve the search and utilization
of data services.
