Increasingly data is being bought and sold online. To facilitate such transactions, online data market-places have emerged to provide a service for sellers to price views on their data, and buyers to buy such views. These marketplaces neither support the sale of ad-hoc queries (that are not one of the specified views), nor do they support queries that join datasets. We present QueryMarket, a prototype data marketplace that automatically extrapolates prices to ad-hoc queries, including those with joins, from the manually priced views. We call this capability "query-based pricing" and describe how it is superior to existing pricing methods, and how it provides more flexible pricing for the sellers. We then show how QueryMarket implements query-based pricing and how it generates explanations for the prices it computes.
