Well it seems like a utopian model, but at the same time in academics you are judged on your papers and grants. So without some exclusivity it is difficult for academics to cope. Obviously with a study that couldn't be done without a great deal of cash, collaborations are vital...but as much as I cringe saying it...some sort of exclusivity is needed at least for a brief time. Or the academic model needs to change. On Aug 14, 2010 3:47 AM, "M.

It is actually shocking that such an article comes as a revelation but good news nonetheless. How can we discover new (or old) knowledge from data integration if we have no access to the data? The goals of knowledge sharing are inherently essential to the goals of translational medicine, especially when you use translational medicine to refer to data integration across disciplines. You can get much more out of your data if you share it. Once you decide to share it, you will find that Semantic Web practices will make it much more accessible and 'shareable'.
