- The problem of finding information on the internet
- The evolution of search, from manual to automated to vertical
- Building a data search engine
- Transitioning to a data platform
- The criticality of user-driven content in the data world
- The role played by open data

- Network effects for data
- The emerging data layer
- Data as a Service
- An explosion of context
- What it all means for you
