I think Laura raised a very good point here.
One question, broader :
is Wikidata team thinking about moving their dataset over
block-chain?
That, I do believe, would incentivise people to participate, maintain, and even craft useful thing with clear licenses (eventually profiting based on utility of a thing ) .
Again, the possibility to compute / process things that are of public utility / governance depends on accessibliity to data.
Or, very large computation / legal / negitation power of a few stakeholders.
Making data accessisble from multiple stakehodlers from public audiences, or at least mirroring the meta-data, would allow a sane "competition" / collaboration in governance - with also concrete applications saving $$$ , like preventing companies collusions.
I also tried to connect with OpenCorporates - research and CEO.
No answer so far.
