WikiCite day 1 lightening talk:

1. It's harder to earn trust on structured data than human-readable text -- compare WikiPedia to DBPedia.
2. Despite thousands of person-years of effort, the LOD cloud is not trusted for infrastructure.
3. Successful alternative, e.g. ViVO, Open PHACTS, offer quality curation and stability.
4. Agreed-upon schemas and clear migration paths enable institutional trust.
5. Institutional trust leads to more resources (for things like schemas and migration paths).
6. Let's be as good or better than BBC, UniProt, GeneWiki
