A zillion times a day, I copy the URL, title, last modification date, and author -- a citation -- from one document to another. Very manually intensive. There's got to be a better way! We need richer semantics in HTML (and authoring tools that handle them.) on meta in general, I've collected my thoughts at: Web Catalogs, Citations, Abstracts, and Knowledge Bases http://www.w3.org/team/WWW/Addressing/citations last update by $Author: connolly $ on $Date: 1996/01/04 07:12:41 $ >> 2.

Plus, the preservation of some semantics - the LaTeX method of >describing pictures of equations is only slightly more useful than >the current HTML method of GIF/XBM pictures of equations. absolutely. The web is about knowledge exchange, not just broadcasting. (that's one of my new "What I think"s on my homepage).

It was interesting that Wolfram Research, makers of >Mathematica, were exhibiting at WWW4 in Boston last month. In fact, I've seen very promising demos of mathematica/HTML interoperability.
