1. A method, comprising:
receiving a request from one or more radio access network optimization services, wherein the request comprises a list of attributes corresponding to characteristics of a cell and a cell selection criterion for each of the attributes;
receiving, from one or more radio access network cells, a data stream comprising metrics for at least one of the cell or users in the cell;
initiating data collection of data for the attributes;
accessing the collected data;
generating, based on the received request and the metrics, a list of zero or more cells that meet the selection criterion for one of the radio access network optimization services or for a group of the radio access network optimization services, wherein the initiating collection of data for the attributes and the accessing the collected data is for selecting at least one cell for inclusion in or exclusion from the list of said at least one cell that meets the selection criterion; and
sending, to a respective one of said one or more radio access network optimization services, the generated list of said zero or more cells that meets the selection criterion for the respective one or more radio access network optimization services.
