"Linkability is rapidly becoming an essential feature of the 21st Century Scholarly Journal." Have you ever seen this quote? Pick up your pen, mouse or favorite pointing device and press it on a reference in this document - perhaps to the author's name, or organization, or some related work. Suppose you are directly presented with the background material - other papers, the author's coordinates, the organization's address and its entire telephone directory. Suppose each of these documents has the same property of being linked to other original documents all over the world. You would have at your fingertips all you need to know about electronic publishing, high-energy physics or for that matter Asian culture. If you are reading this article on paper, you can only dream, but read on. It's from the first (as far as I know) scholarly publication about the Web: World-Wide Web: The Information Universe Berners-Lee, T., et al., (1992), Electronic Networking: Research, Applications and Policy, Vol 1 No 2, Meckler, Westport CT, Spring 1992 (postscript copy at http://www.w3.org/History/1992/ENRAP/Article_9202.ps ) -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/
