Abstract: An ecosystem that allows fine-grained multi-party control over access to information stored in one or more data sources of a data provider. A requesting party can submit a query job to the data provider. Resellers in the chain can introduce their own query modifiers to the query job, adding additional data access, data transformation and segmentation functions to the query job. The data provider can append its own query modifier to the query job and execute the query job with all of the query modifiers. Access control for each link in the chain is checked before the query modifier for the link is executed. After execution of all query modifiers and the query job, the results can be provided to the requesting party.
