Data Credits are the foundation of an economical model of the future world. It adds another dimension to Denigma - Economics.
There is an advantage of a system that uses some kind of social capital based on Data Credits.
Data Credits gives one access to more parts of the system. All the data of the resource should be generally be open and accessible for everyone, but having gained Data Credits may also grant an individual access to certain functionalities and analysis tools (e.g. Deciphering Algorithms).
It is similar to tactic games where one need to accumulate some kind of resource to buy new things and unlock technologies as well as similar to role-play games where one need to level up and unlock skills, etc.
Also every individual has a personal knowledge base that is a sub part of the whole knowledge base, recieving access to annotated papers via Data Credits would mean that it is automatically added to her/his own knowledge base.
