When open knowledge systems will run programs to drill into archives of information, discover patterns and make predictions, how long until the open access initiatives will clash with the growing interest of companies to hold monopoly on those programs? That's just one of the big questions raised by this issue.

I think the raw data/publications can be open and the algorithms/search can be private. Isn't google a great example of this?
