maybe can help to answer the question:
How you can explore a new set of linked data
http://www.snee.com/bobdc.blog/2008/08/how-you-can-explore-a-new-set.html
Looking at the work done at Freebase, that is simply great, I was
wondering what if a big company, public or private, that manages a big
quantity of data and wants to own a data space, a base in FB
terminology maybe, to manage that data letting its knowledge workers
build and change in a flexible way the data model and the UIs ? This
would mean a real separation of concerns between programmers and
knowledge workers. Will FB sell such bases ?

Luigi,
Think: "Data as a Service".
The LOD Cloud, Bubbles within the LOD Cloud, and eventually meshes with
the aforementioned by traditional media companies (BBC, Reuters, and
others are already doing this).
You can buy, make, rent, or simply bind to a corpus of linked data for
use in a myriad of ways as part of a broader open data access driven
attribution / recognition economy. Your initial base will be
progressively enhanced in service specific ways e.g. Travel industry
players will build bubbles with a vertical bent, ditto Financial, Music,
Movie, News, and others, respectively. Ironically, they've already tried
to do this, but the Web simply didn't have the structured data
granularity and requisite open access that Linked Data now accords.
Data is the new electricity, its conducted via URIs. Revisit ol' Ben
Franklin's lightening and kite experience :-)
