Does anybody know where most citation sites pull their data from?

One of the yellow pages sites (Dex, Yellow book, Yellow pages) maybe?
I am guessing it is one of those sites that has had a good history of offline yellow pages directories.

However, I am asking those people that know for sure.

Thanks

    Submit to Localeze, InfoUSA, and Axciom.

    David Mihm's infographic is definitely the best thing available out there (although there are a few omissions even in the interlinking between the offered sites, an example could be that Infogroup sends information to Superpages.com, too).

    However, I think the OP's questions is more related to that where sites such as Localeze (for instance) get their information. And yes, they get it from "paper" sources - official government databases, print yellow pages legacy data, local chambers of commerce data, etc (this is according to Gib Olander, who is Vice President of Product Development at Localeze).
