Current WWW limitations
• WWW does not support user cotrolled organisation of documents in new hierarchies or categories – e.g. Guidet tours
• WWW is primarily a media for publishing• WWW does not allow users to create links from and into
documents that they do not own• WWW documents must be changed in order to create links
from them or into them

Tim Berners-Lee at WWW8
Goal: Intercreative space• As you can read, so can you write • If you notice a connection, make a link • Collaborative editing: research done, products
nowhere? • Software hard • Needs authentication, PUT, catch lost update,
version management, etc.. • Amaya + Jigsaw progress

Dynamic use of Web ressources
Examples• Teachers/advisors find and annotate web-based
ressources to their students/customers• Students write project reports with detailed
references and overviews over web ressources.• Journalists point to annotated details in web soures
in their research
