It said her report would be published in the future, "subject to any material that has to be redacted for data protection reasons".
What comes out is a mess of data, strings of genetic material where it is not always easy to tell what DNA comes from what microbe.
The real winners of the global economy have turned out to be not the creative types or the data junkies, but the material boys: countries, states and companies that have perfected the art of physical production in agriculture, energy and, remarkably, manufacturing.

Buzz is also able to exploit Google's search know-how to help users identify the material of most interest to them from the flood of data pouring into its networking pages.
We've seen scientists experiment with DNA as a storage medium -- most recently with a Harvard team fitting 704TB of data onto a single gram of the genetic material -- and it looks like that research trend is only picking up.

He described "an age of algorithms" where connected sensors digitised all kinds of data about an individual's health and daily activities, and then provided them with useful material.
Personal data about staff can still be restricted, but it is harder for authorities to keep other material secret on the basis that it is confidential or threatens commercial interests than it would be in response to an FOI request.
When one views a web page or Twitter post, what she actually reads is not the original material, but what her computer says the page or tweet is supposed to look like, after the data to form it is transmitted through many routers, servers, and other network devices along the path from the its original source.
