I think there are some real differences I was trying to get at re nominal reusability: even really very good historian-made data has a level of reader interpretation of sources that are simply not at all designed to provide that data or indeed be "truthful" as we would understand it, which adds some inherent reuse & data modelling problems.
But I definitely skipped over that too fast and picked the wrong word, my bad!
