Wikis!

We don't need new features. We need to identify the patterns that already exist in great collaborative tools, and we need to make them interoperable .

Why Wikis?

Shared Language (Link As You Think) I really enjoy eating FleischButter. I really enjoy eating [[Fleischbutter]]. I really enjoy eating [Fleischbutter].

How would you put a book online?

Knowledge comes in smaller chunks than documents. We'd like to be able to do the same things within documents as we can across them. The original Augment system allowed people to do that in thoughtful, sophisticated ways.

What is the HyperScope?
A subset of Augment's capabilities implemented for the World Wide Web
A tool that gives you advanced jumping, viewing, and linking capabilities across a variety of file formats
An evolutionary step towards the larger vision of an Open Hyperdocument System

Capabilities
Sophisticated addressability
Granular addressability
Navigating the tree, traversing links
Content patterns
View specifications (viewspecs)
Jumping and linking
Transclusions / Inclusions

The Big(ger) Picture

Expert-Friendly Interfaces

Addresses are for more than linking.

Latency matters!

Don't forget about interoperability .

HyperScope Demo

An Augmented Wiki
Make each Wiki page a HyperScope document
Generate OPML with a link to the HyperScope code
That's it!

Current Status
HyperScope v1.0 on September 1, 2006
Example transformers and application integration
Active community interest

The Future of HyperScope
Community outreach, focusing especially on usage in the open source development and other relevant communities
Integrate HyperScope into other applications
Editing and multi-user capabilities
Bootstrap!

The Future of the Augmented Wiki
Nodal data stores
More powerful user interfaces
Optimize editing for granular content
Feature convergence and interoperability
Bootstrap!
