Abstract
Long before the Web existed hypertext visionaries and researchers foresaw
a richly inter-linked world that allowed authors and readers alike to
move easily between related items of information in a global network.
The Web provided the infrastructure to enable those ideas to become reality
but in some ways is far more limited than many of its antecedents. Links,
the fundamental building blocks of any hypertext system, are still difficult
to author and maintain. Associative, personalised links, which formed
the basis of Vannevar Bush's off-cited article "As We May Think", are
largely missing from both the theory and the practice of building Web
sites, and it is left to search engines to fill the gaps. However, the
development of the Semantic Web promises to provide a much richer environment
for exploring these ideas. This talk will consider the missing links in
today's Web environments and look forward to a richly linked future as
the Semantic Web evolves.
