Last week, at the code4lib conference, our very own Rob Styles presented a lightning talk on open data, a topic very close to our heart at Talis. He uses a great metaphor for the state of our industry, something that I can closely identify with havinf a ten year old and a four year old in the same house! It's only 5 minutes, so you've no excuse for not watching it :)
