There currently exists many databases with many forms of information,
commercial and otherwise.  Most of these databases are in the form of some
RDBMS such as Oracle, Informix etc.  The tables in these databases are
designed for a specific purpose and are usually moderately static.

Contemplate a software product that 'joined' information from many databases
and used (perhaps) AI techniques to 'look for' correspondences.  Maybe we
would find that driving a Ford caused canced (for example - no suggestions
of accuracy here !), or some other unexpected or unanticipated
correspondence.  Maybe the price of AT&T shares goes up when the moon is
full, maybe there are connections between certain things that we cannot
anticipate because we (as humans) do not think that way.

I don't know of this is the sort of thing that you wanted.... but it is an
interesting and potentially very useful idea....

Count.
