Integrating Reading and Writing of Documents by P. J. Brown and Heather Brown
http://jodi.ecs.soton.ac.uk/Articles/v05/i01/Brown/

Abstract
Computer users have become accustomed to the writing of documents being regarded as a separate activity from the reading of documents. We believe that this division is unnecessary and limits the effectiveness of virtually every computer user. It is time for a rethink of underlying concepts. A key concept for integrating reading with writing is a general mechanism for annotation. This general mechanism can be combined with hyperlinking to create a single unifying super-concept that provides a base for integrating reading and writing. The paper explains the underlying ideas, and describes the results of a small experiment that supported the viability of the super-concept. We believe that the super-concept might possibly provide the foundations for a revolution in thinking about documents, which would benefit everyone. This will be added to Academic Resources 2004 Internet MiniGuide.
