Second, we're spending a huge amount of money on technology so that everyone can check out laptops and portable phones. We're spending more money to write our existing information into databases or onto CD-ROM. Jay Chiat

That is really not much different from the search engines that are being constructed today for users throughout the entire world to allow them to search through databases to access the information that they require. Stephen Cambone

Web pages are designed for people. For the Semantic Web, we need to look at existing databases. Tim Berners-Lee

We get information in the mail, the regular postal mail, encrypted or not, vet it like a regular news organization, format it - which is sometimes something that's quite hard to do, when you're talking about giant databases of information - release it to the public and then defend ourselves against the inevitable legal and political attacks. Julian Assange
