  I had a complete co-authorship network calculated for 
  the authors in RePEc, where author data is manually
  maintained by authors themselves, therefore of very
  high quality. But I lost the machine that was running
  the service. If somebody sponsors a machine, I can 
  run the service, the code is pretty much ready, but 
  the number of nodes involved requires a dedicated
  machine. Now here is an opportunity for a library
  to get involved in new services, rather than watching
  them being taking up by commercial companies.
