Just imagine how many Terabytes of data are hiden under the iceberg tip that is what the casual reader sees. I have yet to see any paper about say, "The Twisty Turny Biography of Lincoln Evolves Over Six Years"....
There's something related that's been floating around for a few years - it's a bit more lighthearted, but it's pretty interesting nonetheless.
