When Jeff & DJ Patil started using the term "data scientist," they were at Facebook and LinkedIn making products ("People You May Know," etc.) via machine learning on massive datasets.
It may be my ignorance, but when I hear "enterprise," "BI," "ETL," etc., I'm picturing some poor analyst doing database JOINs in order to dump the latest widget numbers into a PowerPoint table for the next board meeting.
Insofar as there is such a thing as "data science," I think it means making transformative use of data (ie by creating tools or models), not just summarizing it.
