Abstract
This paper considers the requirements customers and providers have from a virtual insurance market place, and proposes a set of desirable features to satisfy them. A design implementing these features is proposed, based on a logical structuring of the information needed to support the dialogue between providers and customers. The applicability of this design for market places trading products other than insurance is discussed, and further research to consider the particular features of business services is suggested.
