Examples in the web

This is a set of pointers to things which it is useful to demonstrate. Note restrictions of demo: Font size has been changed where possible for visibility, so less information fits on each per screen. (list of talks).

As an example of an organisation "Welcome" page, look at CERN :-).

As examples of different types of data displayed as hypertext, look at the alt.hypertext newsgroup, an FTP site (not possible at PARC because of in.gateway), a "gopher" server,...

Index searches

Let's look at a WAIS server for poetry.

We can search that server, and having got back a hit list, make an explicit link to the search result.

We can similarly make a link to a chosen document. This demonstrates the consistent rule that anything which you can access you can link to, or quote by reference.

Another example is the CERN phone book which has links and is searchable.

Remember to demo...
