Ciao Mark S. I agree for massive datasets that I doubt there is any point in going TW since the deep genealogy stuff has been done infinitely already and has a defined structure.
For what *anthropologists* and *linguists* need it might actually be very good. They are not interested per se in genealogy, but principally in "kinship terminology". That is much smaller datasets. They are examining extant social relations, rather than making lists of the past. TW, given its flex, might also cope quite well with emergent relationships like "my partner is a transexual" and "our daughter is my previous second wife's adopted daughter too".
