A method, system, and computer program providing data of a requested kind includes a repository of descriptors for external data sources and a repository of templates for synthesizers that, given inputs satisfying stated requirements, can act as data sources satisfying a stated requirement. A set of data sources satisfying a stated requirement is constructed by selecting appropriate external data sources from the repository of data-source descriptors, discovering appropriate synthesizer templates in the repository of synthesizer templates, and synthesizing data sources by instantiating templates to use other external or synthesized data sources as inputs, in accordance with the requirements associated with the inputs and outputs of the templates.
