LinkedIn's Economic Graph Meme

All,

I stumbled across a nice presentation [1] from LinkedIn which for all 
intents and purposes boils down to a Semantic Web of Linked Data 
oriented towards economic opportunity. As the presentation states: this 
is ultimately about enabling flow of all capital, not a specific kind of 
capital.

If you look a little closer at the basis of this entire presentation, 
the following should stick out:

1. profile data
2. access to profile data
3. ownership of profile data.

In a RWW where ACLs are the norm, this vision can play out in a much 
richer sense i.e., LinkedIn's world view blossoms, but within a global 
economic graph where profile owners don't necessarily have to depend 
solely on the LinkedIn data space etc..

Anyway, hoping this could be discussed further.
