QoS, Activity Tracking (Contd.)
To provide these features, sites need to cooperate. At the time a data source is registered into a gestalt, we must specify relevant source properties:
- Auditing requirements: Does the source want the gestalt to track “hits” to source?
- Desired QoS for this source: E.g., if a vendor wants their parts to be shown first when there are many qualifying answers, they pay more to Parts ‘R Us)
