Summary: Argues that emergent online community platforms and hosted-app ecosystems create a new data-management frontier requiring service-oriented, massively-distributed foundations (multi-tenancy, QoS, fail-over, customizable app instances) beyond traditional DBMS. Proposes social search via shared annotations, activity profiles and Community Information Management (CIM), highlighting novel data-integration, structured-retrieval and socio-economic research challenges.
