Influential 1945 article published in Atlantic Monthly which urged that scientists should attempt to make more accessible their 'bewildering store of knowledge', to give them 'access to and command over the inherited knowledge of the ages', including a proposal for what is now known as hypertext.
Genres are not what they used to be. They are both more and less. More in the sense that today many genres of interest are increasingly multimodal, making their meanings through the co- deployment of resources from both language and other semiotic systems. Less in the sense that as people cross institutional and genre boundaries on shorter and shorter timescales (surfing across television channels from genre to genre, across websites from institution to institution, and living their lives between as well as within multiple jobs, tasks, and institutions), we in- creasingly not only hybridize formerly insulated genres, but we now also make meaning along our traversals across traditional genres. Genres are becoming units, raw material, for flexible trans-generic constructions: resources for meaning in a new, externally-oriented sense. Looking at genre from these contemporary viewpoints provides insights into the phenomenon of genre from new functional perspectives,
what would be the effects both on readers and on writers if discursive argument migrated to a hypertext environment? Doug Brent, Faculty of General Studies, University of Calgary. 1997.
CSILE functions as a collaborative learning environment and a communal database which lets students generate 'nodes' containing an idea or piece of information relevant to the topic under study.
Verstehensprobleme und Gestaltungsprinzipien für Online-Zeitungen. Der Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit den Anforderungen der Onlinekommunikation für Online-Zeitungen.
howm: Write fragmentarily and read collectively. * Tutorial // Tutorial is nice Howm is a note-taking tool on Emacs. It is similar to emacs-wiki; you can enjoy hyperlinks and full-text search easily. It is not similar to emacs-wiki; it can be combined with any format.
Abstract from "Robust Hyperlinks Cost Just Five Words Each", We propose robust hyperlinks as a solution to the problem of broken hyperlinks. A robust hyperlink is a URL augmented with a small "signature", computed from the referenced document. The signature can be submitted as a query to web search engines to locate the document. It turns out that very small signatures are sufficient to readily locate individual documents out of the many millions on the web. Robust hyperlinks exhibit a number of desirable qualities: they can be computed and exploited automatically, are small and cheap to compute (so that it is practical to make all hyperlinks robust), do not require new server or infrastructure support, can be rolled out reasonably well in the existing URL syntax, can be used to automatically retrofit existing links to make them robust, and are easy to understand. In particular, one can start using robust hyperlinks now, as servers and web pages are mostly compatible
LAPIS A user interface, a programmable web browser and text editor that demonstrates how lightweight structure can be used Lightweight Structure is the ability to recognize text structure automatically, using an extensible library of patterns and parsers. Structure can be detected in lots of ways: grammars (e.g. Java or HTML), regular expressions, even manual selections by the user. With lightweight structure, it doesn't matter how the structure was detected--whether by a regular expression, or by a grammar, or by a hand-coded parser. All that matters is the result: a region set, which is a set of intervals in the text. * Text constraints, a new pattern language that lets you write simple but powerful patterns using lightweight structure. * Simultaneous editing, a technique for doing repetitive text edits by controlling multiple cursors. * Selection guessing, a technique that infers multiple selections and text constraint patterns
Critics will tell you that with all of your clicking and linking, your blogging and tweeting, you're fragmenting not only text, but yourself. And yet the work of breaking literature into pieces and stitching it together again was a germinal practice of the modern literary consciousness—one belied by the commodity book and consumerist reading, which are quite late projections.
"Schreiben, um gefunden zu werden nannte Jakob Nielsen das Hauptziel eines Internettextes. Dankenswerterweise folgen die meisten Autoren dem Grundsatz Schreiben, um zu überzeugen . Wie aber sieht ein Text aus, der benutzer- und suchmaschinenfreundlich zugleich". Behandelt zu viel auf zu engem Raum. Interessant sind aber die Hinweise auf die nicht vorhandenen Konventionen und die Selbständigkeit der einzelnen Elemente eines Textes als Folge der Nichtlinearität.

Essay über Hyperlinks mit wirklich neuen Gedanken, z.B. Link als Vermischung von Stimme, Figur und Grund. Ausserdem Überlegungen zur Konstruktion der Bedeutung eines Texts mithilfe der Profile des Autors.
This proposal concerns the management of general information about accelerators and experiments at CERN. It discusses the problems of loss of information about complex evolving systems and derives a solution based on a distributed hypertext system.
