Invited Talk>>The Augmented Wiki

Wikis are based on simple, but powerful design principles that make them useful as dynamic knowledge repositories. Now that we have a better understanding of what these principles are and why and how they work, how can we improve them? Augment, the original hypertext system which was first developed in the 1960s and is still running today, offers some possibilities for how we can evolve Wikis. In this talk, we'll describe the HyperScope, a web-based application that adds some of Augment's addressing, viewing, and jumping capabilities to any type of document format. We'll then demonstrate how the HyperScope can be married to Wikis and how such a marriage could significantly boost the capabilities of Wikis as a dynamic knowledge repository.
