Abstract

Hypertext publishing, the integration of a very large body of public writings into a unified hypertext environment, will require the simultaneous solution of problems involving very wide database distribution, copyright, freedom of speech, privacy, and information overload. This paper describes these problems and presents, for criticism and discussion, an abstract design called LinkText which seems to solve many of them. LinkText is presented both as a specification and as design approaches grouped around various levels of electronic publishing.
