Documents are either frozen (piecewise static) or are in production (flux). How concious should we be of multi-user at this point? Remember Memex: we'd weave a document collection through dozens of encoded resources from different sources. When my time comes to 'reproduce a trail' for someone else to load into their memory then the document model had best be able to determine which types of links allow replication, and which links do not. Or are we working from the 'universe is one big document and there is no need for replication' model. If we can accept that there will be 'rights holders' to the document collection, and we can accept that access license is not equivalent to reproduction license, then the document repository will have different interpretations of a given document based upon the rights that have been negotiated by the specific consumer. Or am I jumping ahead to inter document linkages which we'll tackle after we have a common document model. Yours in spirit Les Cuff nf.ca
