Intro: Active Archives
Working session: Tagging Matters, Constant Variable, Brussel 2011
Background: In the beginning was ... the link
<a href="http://info.cern.ch/NextBrowser.html"> Images of the first Web browser </a>
Background: Return to HyperText (1)
Ted Nelson: Everything is deeply intertwingled
Background: URL = API
An Open API (Application programming interface):
- URL brings existing protocols together
- You don't need permission to make a link
Backgrond: Welcome Wiki!
http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?WelcomeVisitors
- Wiki means fast (the movement from reading to writing)
- Making a link is easy (use CamelCase or some extra [[punctuation]])
- New pages are made by referring to them in the flow of a text
- Wikis follow the logic of the writer, not the database.
Tagging with links:
[[Category: Composer]] [[Category: People born in in 1972]]
AA Video Wiki is a browser
[[ embed:: http://video.constantvzw.org/vj12/Michael_Moss.ogv ]]
Don't upload, just link:
- Material is added via a URL
- Multimedia material can be altered on the fly with filters
