Just read Ben Goldacre's post: http://www.badscience.net/2010/06/nullius-in-verba-in-verba-nullius/
His article was about the analysis he was, or was not, able to do as a result of AAA mortality data being published. He concludes: "Open data – people posting their data freely for all to re-analyse – is the big hip new zeitgeist, and a vitally important new idea. But I was surprised to find that the thing I’ve advocated for wasn’t enough: open data is sometimes no use unless we also have open methods." I think it's worth asking him if you can republish his article on the okfn blog.
