"An example is in big data repositories where personal data may have been provided but not used for anything. Yes it’s there but nothing uses it."

It's not being used until somebody decides to use it.

Sure, but does me building a capability to proactively do that make it more likely that someone decides to use the data than if I hadn’t built it?

Having the data at all makes it more likely that somebody will use it.
