So if I had actually *read* your post I would have seen that you said 
that you already had data.  I still think it's helpful to understand how 
people use the data (and how others have modeled it), as others have 
said.  But you could just dive right in, too, depending on how 
structured the data already is.  I think the less structured it is, the 
more background you need in order to interpret the data meaningfully.
