Workshop on Linked Data Quality (LDQ2015) post 
We see linked datasets originating from crowdsourced content like Wikipedia and OpenStreetMap such as DBpedia and LinkedGeoData and also from highly curated sources e.g. from the library domain. Quality is defined as “fitness for use”, thus DBpedia currently can be appropriate for a simple end-user application but could never be used in the medical domain for treatment decisions. However, quality is a key to the success of the data web and a major barrier for further industry adoption.

Medical students study Wikipedia because it is there and it works. Is it fit for use in the medical domain? Probably not if that use is making money by limiting access to information.
We see the same effect in sustainability data. Good data takes academic rigor to collect. Academics all have schemes on the side to sell LCA data to companies who might benefit in evaluating, say, their carbon footprint.
