In the latest Ceres release, the selected note features a small gray link widget . The new link widget revives an idea from the old Java Hereford project, but the impetus came from seeing some promising Hypertext '01 demos. One of the first Ceres testers, RDF guru Aaron Swartz , dropped in for lunch with the Ceres team last week. The new Explorer view lets users explore structure and text in a single window. The Explorer view turns out to be especially interesting for an unexpected reason.
Navigation is extremely snappy.
Because the Explorer needn't adjust the shape of the window or create a new window, moving from place to place in the explorer is almost instantaneous . Paul Kahn on information architecture, Wendy Hall on a vision of a semantic web that is Mostly Harm Linkless, Adrian Miles with a Nelson award-winning paper on cinematic hypertext. Next year's conference will be held in June, in College Park, Maryland. We're building a family of exciting new hypertext systems. You're welcome to watch.
