I see the same things happening for exchange of linking information in
those contexts that I see happening for exchange of information in cases
where people have to exchange information but have different formats.
It's a pretty ordinary process:
1) Decide how much information is really worth sharing.
2) Create a mapping between formats A, B, C, etc., or possibly from
those formats to a new format _if_ a hub seems more useful that
connecting all the pieces individually.
3) Evolve this over time.
I don't see anything strange or unexpected here, but maybe I'm missing
your point.
