Yes, if you assume said data is only curated internally :-) (02)

Of course they won't, but they aren't the only sources of such that.
Naturally, they will hold the more accurate variants due to internal
(their specific enterprise domain) context, but this doesn't negate my

We've already seen the effects of Wikileaks and other data and
information publication efforts aided by the InterWeb. There are many
outlets for sharing data today, and this is a game-changer (one that's
already having tangible effect world wide). Social network discussions
and memes, Blog posts, Wikis, Bookmarks etc.. are all leading to context
rich data sharing on a level unrivaled in our modern history. (05)
