Abstract
RFID data can be received by a RFID data mediation service operating upon a RFID network data server. The received RFID data can be categorized based upon contents of at least one of a data store containing previously categorized RFID data and at least one categorization parameter associated with a data processing software application registered with the RFID data mediation service. The categorized RFID data can be stored in said data store. At least one record of categorized RFID data can be provided to a corresponding registered data processing software application. In one embodiment, the RFID network data server can provide software services to different entities for a fee, where each of the software services permits a software system of the different entities to react events triggered by the received RFID data in accordance with entity specific configurations established for the RFID network data service.
