Ashok that does not matter at all. You start from anywhere on the web.
Think about it: where do you get the first link for any good story 
you see on the web. From anywhere! From a friend, from  Google, from 
from a tweet, from a bug, from a TV show. It should not matter from 
where you get it. 

On the other hadn once you are in the collection, and knowing it is one,
know how to make another collection ( assuming you have the rights to, 
and indeed discovering that you have the rights to, should also be visible
to you from the collection ).

That is what hypertext or hyper data is about.
