You're a CEO... how many professional librarians do you have on staff?

None, but that has no bearing on the fact that everyone is aware of the fact that files (an the content they comprise) are prevalent artifacts when dealing with the flow of data, information, and knowledge :-)

Three questions to ask everyone on staff:

- have you ever lost/not been able to find when needed a file or folder?

- how much training do you have as a catalog librarian?

- how would you like to stand up in front of your peers & explain your folder/file system?

Just because people are dimly aware folder/files are important doesn't mean they do a good job of managing them.

All of these problems are handled by incorporating the architecture of the World Wide Web into File and Data Management. Please note, my comment in no way implies World Wide Web access to said artifacts. I am simply expressing the fact that making Files and Data web-like (or webby) is a critical part of the solution.

Unbeknownst to many (it seems), the World Wide Web bootstrap occurred on the back of the "View Source" pattern that was baked into Mosaic. In similar fashion, the  Read-Write Web (courtesy of Linked Data and Data Access Policies) will get its bootstrap via the "File Create, Save, and Share" pattern [2][3][4].
