Today's one-way hypertext– the World Wide Web– is far too shallow.
The Xanadu project foresaw world-wide hypertext decades ago, and endeavored to create a much deeper system by implementation of:
•UNBREAKABLE LINKS
•COPYRIGHT SIMPLIFICATION AND SOFTENING:
by special permissions and methods, quotations of any size may be used by anyone and mixed together.
•ORIGIN CONNECTION:
All quotations and excerpts stay connected to their original.
•TWO-WAY LINKS:
anyone may publish connected comments to any page.
•SIDE-BY-SIDE INTERCOMPARISON OF CONNECTED DOCUMENTS
showing two-way links, differences between versions, origins of contexts.
•DEEP VERSION MANAGEMENT:
documents may be changed incrementally (with each version available); versions may branch; authors may easily see exact differences between versions.
•INCREMENTAL PUBLISHING:
new changes may be continually made by authors without breaking links.
