A self-organizing data-base that charges (13) users who find data in it and pays (13) users who supply the data found has a built in feedback mechanism, called the Pay-off Meter (7, 8, 9), that tells users what data needs supplying based on the number of requests (10) for that data over time. The Pay-off Meter outputs a projected Pay-off (9) for supplying the data. |
