Seeking open review of provocative data publication essay

"Peter Fox and I [Mark Parsons] have submitted an essay to the Data Science Journal entitled "Is data publication the right metaphor?".... In this essay we discuss the importance of metaphor in framing how we think, and we critically examine the data publication and several other metaphors. Our intention is to be somewhat provocative and to spark a conversation in the community about how we conceive of, describe, and evolve the overall data management enterprise. While the paper is submitted for formal peer-review, the DSJ editors have also allowed us to make the essay available for open community review. The essay is available at http://dl.dropbox.com/u/546900/parsons_fox_metaphor_dsj_open.docx. We encourage everyone to read it and to provide constructive critique in the comments of this blog...."
