Abstract: Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to managing enterprise software licenses for virtual network functions (“VNFs”). According to one aspect disclosed herein, a system can acquire a software license for a software asset to be instantiated and used by a cloud computing environment associated with an enterprise. The system can prepare, with an enterprise anchor point (“EAP”) module managed by a vendor of the software asset, a certificate validation process that uses an enterprise security certificate to ensure the software license is valid for an execution instance of the software asset. The system can instantiate the execution instance of the software asset in the cloud computing environment. The system can validate, by the EAP module, the enterprise security certificate to ensure the software asset is instantiated and used in accordance with the software license.

Abstract: A processing system including at least one processor may perform a method including receiving a data request, executing a request fulfillment module to determine at least one information model and at least one executable flow associated with the data request, determining that at least one combining module is to be applied to the data request based on the at least one information model and the at least one executable flow, applying the at least one combining module to the data request, and generating a data pipeline to transmit data to a target that initiated the data request, wherein the data pipeline is generated in accordance with the at least one combining module that is applied.

Abstract: A method includes receiving a first request from a first user endpoint device of a first user, wherein the first request specifies a data need of the first user, identifying a first dataset from among a plurality of datasets, wherein the first dataset is determined to match the data need, determining a resource need of a second user who controls the first dataset, wherein the resource need is specified in a second request from a second user endpoint device of the second user, determining that the first user can provide a first resource that satisfies the resource need, wherein the first resource is offered by the first user, establishing an agreement upon approval from the first user and from a second user to orchestrate an exchange of the first dataset for the first resource, and delivering the first dataset to the first user endpoint device via a data pipeline.

Abstract: A processing system including at least one processor may obtain a first ontology of a first type of data pipeline component, map the first ontology to a second ontology for a second type of data pipeline component that is stored in a catalog of data pipeline component types, provide a second data schema for the second type of data pipeline component as a template for a first data schema for the first type of data pipeline component, and add the first type of data pipeline component to the catalog of data pipeline component types, where the adding comprises storing the first ontology and the first data schema for the first type of data pipeline component in the catalog of data pipeline component types.
