TR WoK is a closed content, closed source system. The innovative thing to do would be to create an Open competitor using our wide range of Open Bibliography tools.

Peter +1, this competition is particularly relevant for their Data Citation Index - http://wokinfo.com/products_tools/multidisciplinary/dci/

i.e. picking people's brains on how to create a system which sounds really awesome and important, but would be behind a paywall.

I have never used all of Web of Knowledge's features. IIRC, it has
lots of citations and references that they get by scraping journal
indexes. What else does it do? anything else?
